mmmmkay....i aparentley got a virus wich my friend told me was "SASSER"....i have no idia how it got in because i run 2 AVs and do a compleat scan just about every day.....i think the vrrus was responsible for explorer.exe using 100% of the cpu time somtimes, files refusing to be deleted or moved or renamed, a box forcing me to shut down called "NT authorety system" , loss of menues, and the freezing of IE when i tride to go to MS updates to try to get a tool to remove the virrus...amung other things....none of the AVs found anything...i think sasser disabled them somehow ....its still a mystery how it got in in the first place.

anyway 1 reformat later....i was told that SP2 and all the MS updates would prevent this from happening agen...so SP2 is installed and now when i have panda firewall on ,i cant do anything with the internet, no p2p,no chat,no email, no surfing....

but it works fine when i have the firewall off...

WTF is going on now?
