Re: Windows xp pro problem

Re: Windows xp pro problem
If this is on a fresh install then it sounds like the disc is pre-infected with some sort of malware.
Re: Windows xp pro problem
Been same disk have had for years, have connected other computer to my connection and it does same thing. But why does everything work 100% no problem with dial-up yet when i use my adsl it plays up and wont work right
Re: Windows xp pro problem
I believe some malware leaves dialup machines alone. As the connection is too slow to be sold as a bot.
Re: Windows xp pro problem
looks like the modem a netcomm NB6 modem router has malaware or a virus in it. Never heard of it but did a search and there is a story where it is happening in australia. Just need answers as how to fix it.
Re: Windows xp pro problem
Grumpy , don't know how true this quote is but ...
"It's quite easy to tell if a router has been compromised. Check which DNS
servers the router is using. If they aren't from your ISP the router has
been compromised. Formatting or reinstalling your OS would have no affect
at all on this. The wrong DNS settings would still exist in your router.
Flashing the router's firmware then setting a strong password and
disabling uPnP are the steps to take to correct the problem. If you think
they redirected you to a bad site that installed malware then yes, to fix
that you may need to format and reinstall the OS."
