29055	2001-12-29 19:31:00	We have a 14 gig .215 ram pc computer three months old , ME windows. It was showing via Pccillin that it had a trojan dlder virus in the Restore archive and in windows dlder .exe. After putting pccillin thru it , it appeared to delete the windows one cos it didnt show up the next time, when I rescanned it . However the other one did. I then took Pccillin off and put Nortons on. It didnt show up any viruses! Then I downloaded Tiny firewall and put that on. 1) Now whats happened is that I dont know the proper settings for the firewall to let outlook express function properly , it just immediately shows 'the connection to the server has failed etc , I dont know whether I have caused this with the firewall (which I have now disabled) 2)I followed the letter in your latest PC mag which talks about trojan in REstore in ME windows and disabled that . Then I put Nortons back on and nothing showed. Then I took Nortons off and put PCCilin back on and ran that and nothing showed, then I re abled Restore and ran PCcillin and still nothing showed , so do I assume these viruses are now gone? 3)When I turn the computer on when the desk top is showing it immediatedy comes up with attempting to connect to the net, and a sign Explorer has caused aaan error in explorer.exe, explorer will now close. And behind it appears to be a brief picture of the opening page of Adaptec direct Cd , which then quickly disappears as I click the mouse on the error sign. I hope this all makes sense and that you can help Thanks John	Guest (0)

It should therefore still be under warranty, so if you ask nicely, they may be able to get it working properly again (some won't if it was a virus that caused the problems, but you never know if you don't ask!) Good luck Mike.	Guest (0)
