Have You Guys Ever Heard Of....

[BigDaddy555]

a trojan or virus that keeps your firewalls from starting up? I have Sygate and Zone Alarm, yet neither of them will work even after reinstalls. It is listed in the "running processes" and every once in a while it will flicker like it is trying to start, but it wont. Odd! I have run every A/V, antispy, adaware, etc..that I know of and even registry mechanic and system mechanic. Any ideas or perhaps a firewall that I might like as much as one of these. I really dont want to reformat just for this. My system appears to be clean.............

Thanks in advance.

Hmm well that is a very strange problems. there are a few more good firewalls in my pinned guide (link in sig) that u could try to see if they will start...and use them until u get zonealarm or sygate working again...or just use them instead.

[TheRealDave]

its very well known of for that to happen. I know of a trojan that gives the option to disable AV and firewall once its ran :P


just try an online scan and scan your system

[gildan2020]

are you trying to run them both at the same time?
that is definitely a no-no. they will clash and refuse to run.

no, I had Sygate and started using Zone Alarm, which I like better. Till they both crashed at the same time........


@TheRealDave:where do you suggest as far as an online scan?

my avg antivirus is not working neither is aida32 and both are free :01:

There are quite a few viruses that shut down the zonalarm, symantec and avg processes.

You might not be able to erase them with an av, &#39;cos some get stuck in pretty good.

Panda (http://www.pandasoftware.com/activescan/com/activescan_principal.htm)
Trend (http://housecall.trendmicro.com/)

One of these ought to be able to find it at least, if it isn&#39;t very new.

If you find something but can&#39;t delete it, try googling for the name, often there is a fix somewhere.

[Spicker]

well so far with the panda online scaner:

Scanned Yes 52877 0
Infected - 2 0
Suspicious - 0 0
Disinfected - 2 0

[Spicker]

well in total i got like 13 viruses and it fixed all of them...

and my avg is now working B)

thanx snny :rolleyes:

EDIT: nvm its still not working... it shows the loading screen adn then nuthing happens <_<
