Is my computer infected with a virus?

I need more information about whether my computer is infected before July 9, 2012.

Re: Is my computer infected with a virus?

In addtion to the info UHFhd provided, is you are using the free Comcast Norton Security Suite, and it is kept up to date - that will also protect you from the DNS Changer virus.

A veteran - whether active duty, retired, national guard, or reserve - is someone who, at one point in his or her life, wrote a blank check made payable to The 'United States of America', for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'

Also, there was an interesting article on Yahoo News a few days ago:

Using comcasts site amibotted if you are thinking about "constant gaurd" protection , First do a search on forums.comcast.com  board for the problems it causes .

Am I Botted has nothing to do with the Constant Guard Security Suite software. AIB will simply tell users if we're detecting any bot infections, and is not a software to install.

 What I was referring to was ..................... When using amibotted  site and it gives back a answer your machine is " clean " no problems found , There  is a AD offering Constant Guard  ( https://amibotted.comcast.net/goodnews.html )   which should be avoided like the plague  .

                   Fair Warning .

That isn't an ad - It's just a link to the Constant Guard portal where you can learn about all things Constant Guard. While it is true you can download the Security Suite there, you can also download other applications as well as get all sorts of security related information.

 

Thank you for the feedback though! I will take it into consideration for the next AIB release.

Hi Adam,

 

While you are at it, why not get a hold of someone to do away with the CGPS popup in this link: 

 

http://xfinity.comcast.net/constantguard/Products/CGPS/norton/

 

It is located on the  Norton Security Download page and hides the Get It Now Button for the Norton Secuirty Suite download.

 

Thanks

If you are concerned about the DNS Changer bot, go here: http://dns-ok.us/

 

While you are at it, go here to see if Comcast has detected any bots: https://amibotted.comcast.net/

 

If both are negative, then there is no way we would know if there is any other exploit on your computer. Do a full systems scan with your anti-virus program.
