I think I have a virus

[BOOGIEDOWN]

Ok.

I installed this program called Zone Alarm Firewall Pro.

And whenever I open something like Warcraft 3 or a game I get a popup and I can't click on it because my monitor turns into 800 x 600 resolution and everything is sloppy.

Is this a virus?????????????????????????

I was told Zone Alarm prevents u from getting Viruses so why does it make more trouble

im gonna delete this stupid program if someone doesnt explainnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn to meeeeeeeeeeeeeee what is going onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.

Have you scanned your computer with an antivirus program, or online AV site? Do you have your zone alarm configured to allow your games? Do you have Spybot Search and Destroy, Adaware SE installed, updated and have scanned with them? Have you downloaded and run HijackThis so you can post a log for Microbell to give you advice and cleaning instructions if you need something done?

Very hard for someone to say, "yes, you have a virus." until there is something to look at.

I swear.... This guy is a dumb ass...... The pop up is a part of Zone Alarm asking you if you want a certain program to access the internet, you will have to press Alt + Tab to minimize the game and allow it through, and then click on the game in the task bar....... Serioulsy your not that smart.....

charles_scott is right (not that I am saying you are an idiot just his advice) if you don't want the pop up to come, go to program control in zone alarm and find your game. Make it a trusted program and change the question marks to ticks

Reason i said he is a dumb ass is because of another thread he made.....

 

[Static_11]

lol... and that thread is? o and since he is so eager to delete ZA.... and not even give it a fair chance.. im guessing its PIRATED!

You can do a search for his threads....... I'm not waisting time to try and find a thread that was made such a long time ago.
