Re: [tech4all] help needed about the internet

Yup - I would go with Piyush on this. Your computer may well have been
recruited as a "bot" or "zombie" - and may be Ddos'ing somebody or
spamming. I would DISCONNECT it as soon as possible, and use a clean
machine to download and copy some Anti-Virus software onto a CD.
Install that, then make sure you get yourself Serviec Pack 2 if you
are using Windows XP.

Avoid .ru and .ro links - it is a sad fact that a huge proportion of
the current wave of computer crime, ransoming with DDoS, virus and
spam issues are coming from Romania and Russia. They also commonly use
Chinese, Taiwanese and some other East Asian machines for attacks as
they are not very well protected.

The great firewall of China- Prevents freedom of speech, while letting
every virus and spambot sail cleanly through.
