| 154867 | 2003-06-25 00:45:00 | When I start up my computer, it wants to connect to the internet. I remember my dad had the Opaserv worm and it did the same thing. I have searched the registry and scanned and scanned but nothing. Is it a worm or is WIN98SE getting a bit frisky. Could "Connect at Startup" be located in the registry somewhere that I could change cause it really pisses me off. I also remember a free little mini app that detected your TCP/IP ports and told you what was listening for a connection and stuff. But I cannot remember the site for it. |

| 154869 | 2003-06-25 01:00:00 | I use and recommend Zone Alarm, free for personal use, easy to set up and yes lets you know when some prog on your machine is trying to access the net. You can get it here (http://zonelabs.com) | mark c (247) | ||

| 154876 | 2003-06-27 00:33:00 | If you're worried about a virus, goto http://www.housecall.antivirus.com Otherwise, Try installing ZoneAlarm and monitor what attempts to get out. Click Start Run, and type: msconfig Check under the startup tab whats loading on boot :-) Hope this helps Cheers Chill. |
