If that does not solve the problem...

Restore the computer to original state and reboot 3 times in safe mode by pressing F8 at start up...

Then stick ur thumb up ur ass and wait...

my favorite was always unplug it for 5 mins plug it back in and start it up, sometimes the need time before a reboot, if it still doesn't work call us back ... should i ask to speak to you if it doesn't help? ... nah any person can do further troubleshooting from there but my name is <insert random girl name that wasnt mine> if you want you can ask for me.... ohhh thanks... ROFL... like they would even get the same call center anyways... bad bad dellie

........ I'm saying someone basically hacked into my computer or got in somewhere through an open port which I don't understand how because it's what he told me and basically messed up my character in which I put 4 years of hard work into for another game I play... now I'm asking if he was telling the truth in that he got into my computer through the open port, how do I close the port or whatever to ensure my computer is safe?

Firewall! Either a software based firewall like Blcak Ice or a Firewall built into your router..This way you ONLY open ports that you want open. I only had one port that gave me probs..Port 113 which I had a hard time closing..so all I did was port forward it to a dead IP..

Yeah the ports he is referring to are non physical, and they're all used for different things on web, a few for html, a few for pop3, a few for irc etc etc...

I played this other game for 4 years and I started using a bot to it which was scanned and nothing came up

He downloaded a bot, and scanned it - it probably came up virus and trojan free when scanned... however the program is liklely to have been intented to be malicious - not through sneaky action but through the user 'allowing' it to cause the breach. By running the program you granted it certain permissions- you likely originally granted it access to the web to allow it to 'run with the game' however it also then has access to outbound connections and can use them for purposes other than advertised.

Tip 'o' the day... If you cant program your own bot - dont use one...

WEell dymond helped me out and it had nothing to do with my inability to scan it because it happened to other people, some weird ass thing where when you logged in, it was like a java password sender bot so anyone who used java was screwed I am supposing for that game or whatever I forget..

I was trying to uninstall Norton the other day through add/remove programmes, thought it was taking a long time then it stalled, and sent up a dialog box saying it had encountered problems ang gave me a web link. The first thing written on the web page was: before doing anything else, uninstall then reinstall Norton.
I could have spent hours going round in circles.

Dymond
6th June 2006, 03:17 AM
LOL kind of dumb advice when you CAN'T uninstall! But see if you can reinstall Norton again then uninstall it..Kind of the opposite of the DnR...a RnD...Sometimes a file either becomes missing or corrupt and when the uninstaller tries to run it bombs. If you reinstall you replace the file, then allowing a complete uninstall to occur.
