[Fed]

You should have only deleted the file, not the whole folder.
Perhaps you should do a fresh install of UT.

Running Programs, bottom right hand corner of your desktop, 2 little monitor screens, right click, check status, look for your IP address.

[pandora95]

i deleted the folder the virus was in not the whole ut2004 folder.my computer runs rather slow for the stuff thats in the computer i believe it should run faster how do i know if my computer is running at full performance?finally my system startups and shutdowns r slow?

[GX1_Man]

dl65 has a new buddy!  

[pandora95]

hey i just want to get this fixed so i can play games again my problem is similiar to dilberts sudden slow down,what do u reccommend i do?

[dl65]

 pandora95......  Did this slowdown start right after you updated your bios ...( or did you update it ? ) Pity you are on dialup or I could with your permission connect to your machine and see it here on my desktop.  
When was the last time you formatted that machine ......?
The other thing is , we dont know if you have unnecessary toolbars installed or if when running scans you neglected to remove something ....... EG..... like telling AVG to ignore infected entries .........
If it was mine , I would backup anything I wanted and format it .
