    Hello all,

    I was previously infected with a trojan virus and "wiped " it out. I
    then installed firewall thatc ame free with AOL. I noticed it still
    allowed a user to ping my computer which makes me think a back door is
    still open. I even did a virus scan and safe mode and found nothing.
    Funny thin is that when I re-install windows using upgrade option, the
    virus scan keeps missing coponents, which happens from viruses. I also
    did ad-aware in safe mode too. Then lately I get the "physical dump of
    hard drive" when i reset a few times. This is not good. I am afraid
    to back-up new files in case they are infected. Am I missing something
    obvious? Any help is apreciated!

    BTW How can I report these scumbags who are trying to get on my
    computer f I got their IP found thru the firewall?
