Title:  lexplorer using cable and aol to get onl
Post by: Kapil Goondli on May 26, 2005, 08:04:34 AM
I seem to have picked up the lexplorer worm.  I believe it was picked up by my son downloading music. I can only get online through aol although my roadrunner (cable hookup) is still working. My internet explorer will not come up at all and when I hit ctrl alt dlt it shows that lexplorer is not responding.  I have run MCAfee, aol spyware, spybot, and adaware numerous times. The spyware programs each time pick up numerous items but the full virus programs say there is nothing there.  My system continuously shows as overloaded and unable to open things (ie mail) but my system shows that I am using less that 30% of my space.

Additional information:

I use roadrunner which is a division of TimeWarner for an isp but also us aol.

Diagnose/troubleshooting:

AOL helpline, McFee, spybot, adaware, stinger
