i have now reset the wireless router (according to belkin phone support) and reconnected the other pc..can someone tell me if everything is still ok?

the router has not been reconnected .. i do not know if it is safe do to so or even how to check.

i didnt check....."as soon as i read that people had access to my machine i unplugged it and stripped it installed xp again and then got telewest to reset my service .. (thats prob how i got the new ip) so i didnt check anything after that."

for the last 5 or 6 hours.

the only things i really need of the other drives are images .. i have a dead machine that i could put together with a burner and put them on cd .. do you think this would be safe? but what i really need to do is get the router back online.

as soon as i read that people had access to my machine i unplugged it and stripped it installed xp again and then got telewest to reset my service .. (thats prob how i got the new ip) so i didnt check anything after that. the router has been on but with nothing plugged into it .. could that still send mails? i have unplugged it now has that made a difference? Steve

one more question... how do i know if the router is safe to use?

i have now wiped one pc and it is connected straight to the modem .. router now not involved .. 2 questions... 1) how do i check if the other pc is infected or not? 2) the pc that i wiped has 3 drives on it .. the other 2 are now disconnected .. howcan i check if it is safe to reconnect the other 2 drives? THanks again for everyones help. steve

the only thing search and destroy finds is newdotnet and it cant remove it .. its asks to run again on startup .. i let it and it still finds it .. any ideas if this is what would cause such a problem ?

i have run everything and all that i can see is that trend micro keeps saying scanning outgoing messages ... perhaps every 10 seconds .. i have no mail progs running .

im sure you mean may the FARCE be with you !

ok .. thanks . will let you know how i get on .. one checker says 6 hours to go ! speak later and thanks again to everyone for their help so far .

should i restart it while virus checking ?

ok .. thats both pcs now had their wep setup all working well. updates and virus checkers all running.
