so I tried playing some q3 with a friend the other night and my ping was like 500 so I couldn't...

the next day it was the same thing, I opened up a dos prompt and ran 'netstat' to see what connections my computer is making and it was continuously making smtp connections with random servers... here is a short section of it:

So I try to find fixes, thinking its the blaster worm, but nothing. I downloaded norton antivirus pro (hacked) and it didn't find it. This virus i have actually almost killed norton.. Norton has a feature that pops up a window everytime you send an e-mail... well I thought I shut that feature off and I woke up to about 640 norton popup windows in just about an hour I fell asleep for saying that the connection couldn't be made.

I have no idea what virus I have, but it seems that it starts out really slow, as in I'll reboot and be fine for like a half hour but as I keep it online it starts to make more and more connections.

Rev, any idea what I have and how to rid of it?

Maybe you could kill yourself.

looking into it.
if you are the fucking kid sending me 3 viri every 15 minutes.

The Reverend will save the day!

everyone IM him (c0nStr1Ct) and tell him he's a fag.
he left his pc on at home and it's infected.
!!!!FAG!!!!!

ok, my brother unplugged my network cable for me..

are you happy now?

haha.

seems as though I never actually had a virus...

scanned my computer over and over, nothing....

took the hard drive out scanned it on another computer... still nothing...

fucking wierd.

no idea why my computer was making all those connections by itself.

Maybe it was lonely, wanted to make new friends...

same shit here... if i dont manually close a ton of random apps and shit that decides to come up when i boot up it will freeze. scanned my comp 4 times and no virus found... im so pissed

It still sounds fishy. In my experience norton antivirus and other similar programs only catch the popular viruses.

I'm almost positive he had a type of so.big virus.

maybe, one that does its thing and then vanishes after.

I think if it can't get to those servers, it gets no new instructions so it "dies"
