Hi
I recently did a factory reinstall on my laptop as I had the windows security virus. Today, I did a full system scan using my antivirus software and it picked up the virus from the windows.old folder!!!!
Now, i am worried and thinking if the virus was active since I reinstalled?!!!! I thought it would not be as I did a fresh reinstall.
Also, today I was investigating why my internet speed has gone slightly slower. I did net stat - a in cmd to find out if there was any interferences. I found many 'listening' connections. The guy from the virgin call centre said this may be spyware!! i am worried as I just recently reinstalled a month ago.,
Any help appreciated
thanks
sam
