Cannot Update Security Apps

Unread postby firestarter » March 12th, 2009, 11:30 am

Hi,

My initial problem was the fact that i couldn't update my security applications, i tried AVG and Avirus after i found malicious tool bars installed that i never requested and both wouldn't download the updates. I then found that the default Windows security would not download updates either, so i tried the HiJack software which has lead me to you. I hope this information helps; if you need anymore info, please let me know.

Due to lack of response this topic is now closed.

If you still require help, please open a new thread in the Infected? Virus, malware, adware, ransomware, oh my! forum, include a fresh FRST log, and wait for a new helper.
