What you are seeing is more than likely the aftereffects of the virus/trojan/bot - or you haven't completely eradicated it. What was the name of it? Some of the latest nasties out there are designed specifically to block those sites and keep the AV from updating/working. I'd recommend: booting into safe mode & running your AV/AS tools from there. And then boot with a startup CD and go through the machine again. BitDefender (http://www.bitdefender.com/) has one that is based on Knoppix (linux) that you can download from here: http://download.bitdefender.com/rescue_cd/ burn the iso to a CD & then boot the machine from that CD. BD also have a very nice linux package: http://download.bitdefender.com/repos/# that you can use to install. Then connect to the infected windows drive and run scans on it. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
