i noticed at the bottom right hand corner of my screen it said my firewall was turned off, strange i thought, so i turned it back on. it was then avast! warnings were popping up about viruses(around 3 or 4), so i pressed the delete button for all of them but then, 2 internet explorer pages popped up and i closed it immediately, then my mozilla suddenly had an error and closed, then my bitorrent program suddenly encountered an error and closed too.
this is getting crazy, this has happened at least 3 times during the past month and i thought it wasn't a big deal but everytime i clear it, it always comes back somehow.
yes i scan on the daily and it usually finds nothing, but something is triggering my firewall to go off and my antivirus programs cant find it. i'm currently running malwarebytes scan and it has found 16 malwares.
here is 1 of the malwares avast! picked up in the warning:
- win32:rootkit-gen [rtk]
i'll type more down once avast! finds it.
this is really strange though, does anyone know why this is happening? one day its clean then after a few days it happens again, but it all starts with something turning off my firewall...
