smozoma Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 OK, Update: I found a file using a rootkit finder that produces new files - which wud explain why they kept coming back after the original infection. Also, I was playing direct through the modem as it was a better connection that through the router, but I thought maybe the modem doesn't have a firewall and that was the problem? The modem does not have a firewall, but if your computer is running a firewall (Windows Firewall perhaps), that shouldn't be too bad of a risk. You also need to make sure you install Windows Updates regularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LA Robbie Posted May 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Well I always update regularly, but for the last month or so there's an important security update that just won't install. I've gone to the Microsoft webpage & tried to do it manually, attempting to install every different version available, but no luck. On automatic update it says it's installing and closes down, then when I reboot it's failed to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt those are the problem, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
