Hi there
Just uninstalled MS security essentials to see if it might have been causing
problems with my ADSL connection due to some or other firewall type issue,
and really not sure, but, in any case, when I uninstalled it and reinstalled
eset nod32, and let it run a scan on the C: drive, it immediately found 4
trojan/worm infected/infectious files that security essentials hadn't done
anything to/about.
This is after doing a clean reinstall of the machine around 2 weeks ago, and
immediately installing security essentials afterwards before installing much
other software, apart from things like jaws etc.
I also didn't really change any of it's default settings that can remember
off hand, but just wondering if anyone else has had similar finds/issues
therewith, and will also see how my internet connection works now since just
replaced the ADSL modem/router in case that was causing the problems where
it will drop a connection halfway through downloading around 50 emails of
around a total of 700kb, or let me download them and then just refuse to
even do a google search until I try things like renewing dynamic IP
configuration, restarting both machine and modem/router, etc. etc.
Now, not saying it was definitely this software causing the internet
connection issue, but it definitely missed around 4 files that eset nod32
says are not safe, etc.
Stay well
