Windows 98 Virus - Off Topic
« on: August 28, 2003, 07:07:47 PM »
Anyone know of any new/old virus flying around infecting windows 9x operating systems? Symptoms i can see are :-

Maxing out internet connection ( Can tell due to lights on broadband modem continually indicating internet traffic flowing in and out, nothing showing on firewall tho).
Blocking other programs from connecting.
Seems to bypass AV and Firewalls
Firewall on "Block All" dosent do anothing.
Nothing apparent in MSCONFIG or to be seen when running CTRL - ALT - DEL.

sorry i dont know any more about this at the moment, i dont use windows but where i work we deal with this sort of system and as much info as i can dig out would be appriciated.

Cheers community :-)

Yeah i know they can hide out of CTRL - ALT.... etc

netstat -a is a tricky one when your on the phone. If anyone gets any information about this, please either post here or send me an email or message.

Cheers Campers :-)

Apparently, nothing detects this yet. Remember, this isnt my pc in trying to fix. Im limited on what i can / cannot download (Infact, this virus prevents all outgoing / inconming traffic), so i cannto download anything. I just want some info, ie virus name type etc.
