one day while using MSN chat something came up in my chat window and said "Yo, this is you?" and it showed a link that looked something like (kentek.MSNmyprofile.com) so I was curious as to what it was in my profile that would prompt somebody to ask me this and of course I clicked on the link and it automatically downloaded something and then disappeared and I would suspect began to run silently in the background on my system. soon I was not able to go online to Avast.com or Mcfea or any other websites that were antivirus software related, some of my favourite websites would not open, emails were missing then back again, my outlook express was reeking havoc on me by switching stuff from one email box to another without me doing anything, People who normally would send me emails were complaining that I had just dropped off the earth because no emails were getting through, System clean tools and spybot were shut down.
I really don't know what it was and I've not seen anything like it mentioned yet till now when I searched the AVAST FORUMS only JUST recently being able to get onto the site. My operating system is Windows 2000. I only recently got Avast to work on my system again and I can't get the online monitor to work and it nolonger sits in my task bar and I don't know if it's working properly anymore, I used to every once in a while hear the alarm go off telling me that it had detected a virus but now the only time that I hear that is when I run a full system check which takes so darn long.
Can anyone help?
