Thanks for posting this, I recently downloaded Windows Media Player and instantly got all the symptoms described in this article. Now I know what to do!

thank you, turned that stuff off immediately, haven't had any troubles YET, though.

[goldstategop]

None here either. And I've got Internet Explorer locked down tight.

Thanks for this posting...nothing like keeping your anti-virus program updated!.......

And anti-trojan scanner too. Ewido Security Suite here updates at least once a day with new definitions.

[G.Mason]

Done, and thanks for this info.

If you use a personal firewall (I have Sygate Personal Firewall on right now), you'll be amazed at how many programs try to access the internet, and how often. I block them all by default, including Media Player

What is the best FREE trojan scanner can I find ( that won't install it's own Spyware of it's own ).

[goldstategop]

I let all my legitimate programs access the Internet.

[goldstategop]

Ewido Security Suite. The premium features can be tried for 14 days for free. If you decide you don't want em, keep the scanner and download updates manually. http://www.ewido.net

Can you recommend a free/inexpensive firewall for W2000 on dial-up?
