Hi All, Newbie here !

I think I have been struck bu the above?

It all started when I tried to open a txt file and Zone Alarm asked me for permission to access the net, of course I said no!
Then my time and date were incorrect and now each time I log on my PC, Zone Alarm would like "WERULE" to access the net using different exe files.

I have tried spybot, adaware and pc-cillin, all not scanning the bug.

PLEASE HELP , before I wipe my hard drive and try again !!!!!

I have tried looking for the odd instruction on start up, but it is difficult if ou don't know what you are doing ?

Please get Spybot S&D to clear out any spyware.
[color=red][u][b] [b] [url]http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=mirrors[/url] [/b] [/b][/u][/color]


Install the program and open it.

Before doing any scanning click[color=black][u][b] [b] Online [/b] [/b][/u][/color] and [color=black][u][b] [b] Search for Updates [/b] [/b][/u][/color].
Put a check mark at and install [color=black][u][b] [b] all updates [/b] [/b][/u][/color].
Click [color=black][u][b] [b] Check for Problems [/b] [/b][/u][/color] nd when the scan is finished have Spybot fix [color=black][u][b] [b] all [/b] [/b][/u][/color] it finds marked in [color=red][u][b] [b]red[/b] [/b][/u][/color].


Then after [color=black][u][b] [b]reboot [/b] [/b][/u][/color]:
Download 'Hijack This!'. [color=black][u][b] [url]http://www.tomcoyote.org/hjt/[/url] [/b][/u][/color]or from [color=black][u][b] [url]http://www.majorgeeks.com/downloadget.php?id=3155&file=3&evp=3304750663b552982a8baee6434cfc13[/url][/b][/u][/color]
Unzip, doubleclick HijackThis.exe, and hit "Scan".

When the scan is finished, the " [color=black][u][b] [b]scan [/b] [/b][/u][/color] " button will change into a " [color=black][u][b] [b]save log[/b] [/b][/u][/color] " button.
Press that, [color=black][u][b] [b]save the log[/b] [/b][/u][/color] , load it in Notepad, and copy its contents here. [color=red][u][b] [b] Most of what it lists will be harmless or even essential, don't fix anything yet.

Hi Mobo !

Thank you for your reply.
I'm not sure if you read my other posts, but I ran hi-jack, deleted what I thought was the problem and it seemed to do the trick?

Thank you once again for your reply
