alright.. I dont know all the symptoms or details, but I am trying to help out a friend who seems to be experiencing a virus problem.. (excuse my cynicasism, but it almost sounds made up, though I dont know why they would bother making it up and I dont have much reason to doubt them)
First of all, they have windows ME and thats about as much as I know about their computer lol, they say they recieved some kind of email virus.. They have alot of trouble with AIM and AOL..
First of all, right now I am on aim and it shows them online but if I try to message them on their aol name.. my message sends.. but I dont think they get it.. so I send one more, it says user not available.. I dont have aol or anything so I dont know how it all works.. I call them up and ask whats up, they say noone's been getting messages through to them.. They have alot of crashes and freezes and very slow performance, apparently they have trouble with msn also, They ran housecall and it said there was some trojan, but they have little patience with computers and gave really sketchy details so I couldnt help much...
Anyways, has anyone ever heard of a virus that does all this?
