I have as problem…
gad-network virus….
(im frustrated – sorry) – My PC disconnects from the net EVERY 5 minutes (& takes 3-4 minutes to reconnect)..
Im writing this message offline – So hopefully if I do connect, I can copy-n-paste here..
QUESTION 1)
How do we get rid of the http://www.gad-network.com virus ?
I have ad-aware – Zone Alarm, & AVG Virus scanner…
None of them have got rid of them (I’ve got no credit card, so I’ll want something freeware please…)
Ps – While im wrioting this, I have been disconnected/reconnected twice….
QUESTION 2)
I know in WINXP – the “users” area, I can change / create a new user – However theyre “administrator” or “limited” (nothing in-between…)
Is there a way (please – step-by-step guide / web-page) to create a user – & allow them to access the NET – however, theyre ONLY allowed to view gif / jpg / php / html / htm files etc…
NO javascript / EXE dowmloads etc at all…
(my current “guest account” cannot access the net…)
Also..
I have this ‘administrator’ account – To access the net – But my original administrator account cannot.
(it has access to the Internet connection – However when i try, it says password errors..)
(Im online every day with my ‘2nd’ account (which works) – PS its wireless, & it dials “#99” – or something…
… – & the passwords are the same….)
QUESTION 3)
While im here – I use Mozilla Firefox .
I see lots of settings to ALLOW certain things
But is there a place to PREVENT / DISALLOW certain sites (or EXE poups ?)
& I do have popup access disabled – But still get pages opening for www.gad-network.com (bad site)
QUESION 4)
In one file I d/loaded – it says I have 5000+ items that need fixing.. (however needs to be registered to fix things)..
Are there any good free programmes (no credit card)… that I can use ?
I did use an IE online virus checker – (I hate IE) – However I have forgotten the website
(plus I get disconnected too often nowadays…)
