Well I hope someone responds because I am having the same
problems. It started happening shortly after I
downloaded the latest security patches for windows though
I am on Windows Me. Some strange windows kept popping up
and I couldn't get rid of them, My Norton Internet
Security program kept popping up saying it was blocking
inbound from "wwview" or something like that and
also "couponsandoffers"... It wouldn't let me on IE and
Norton AV ran clean. When I tried to run liveupdate it
froze and the computer crashed. When it came back I lost
all controls for Norton (said I wasn't a supervisor and
therefor couldn't change settings) my firewall worked ok
for a while, kept detecting "virus-like" activity where
the user (male symbol) was trying to reformat drive (male
symbol) then asked if I wanted to stop or continue which
I kept stopping. All this stopped when I disconnected
the cable modem though even my firewall is gone now (I'm
on a different computer). I've tried all the obvious
things, tried the stinger from mcafee and the bugbear and
klez fixes with no help never even detected anything. And
yes I went into safe mode and disabled system restore. I
don't know what to do, at first I thought it was just
spyware but why would it try to reformat my drives? The
only drive I have access to is my A drive which Ive been
using but the spyware products are too large to fit into
a floppy even with the zip utility! Someone please help I
am fairly useless when it comes to this stuff.
