Did wormguard find a worm or not ... this is the message I received: "This file has triggered alerts in the Wormguard Engine. C:\Windows\prefetch\winnt32.exe-2cc9foa3.pf The file contains 49 kb and is a pf file. I am still having trouble logging on and hope this message gets through. Peaches4U
It was probably alerting you to the dual file extensions (notice how it looks like a .exe file, but is actually a .ps file)
You beat me to that Wayne, i had to google for it! On another forum found this explanation about it too: Prefetch files is what XP uses to start programs faster. ------------- Description of the Disk Cleanup Tool in Windows XP at Microsoft So no worm/trojan/nasty, keep to Wayne's explanation. Hope your connection problems will soon be ok. Anything more to do about it? If it's a general problem you might like to post in the general forums where many very knowledgeable specialists will jump to help you where possible too!
Thank you for your prompt reply ... will get on the general forum to see if I can back on the forums as a member rather than a guest. Who said computers were user friendly? Not I!!
Ohh Peaches, they are only almost human Just allow cookies and what more could there be wrong? Password remembered? I set it to "always" stay connected.
Hi Jooske - But I do allow cookies but not spy cookies which I believe most often are 3rd party cookies. I did all you suggested but no deal - Boo-hoo, I have been exiled from the forum ... I have Wilderssecurity in my Trusted Zone so there should be no problem for me to sign in as a member but I think Zone Alarm Pro is somehow in the picture as this happened after its installation that I could not stay signed in as a member. Off with me to the general forum on this topic. Nice to hear from you again.
