Daffy D Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 So yesterday Avira Anti virus started flashing virus warnings on the screen. Usually I just let it get on with itself and it sorts the problem but this time the same warning kept flashing up and would not go away. I was busy with something and the kid was trying to grab my attention so guess I must have hit a wrong button. The Avira warning went away but the computer started to feel a little strange and I could not access the Internet anymore. At first I thought a reboot would fix things, this usually works after the kids have been playing games, but that did not help. Next tried a System Restore, luckily had a restore point from the morning but that did not help. Not being able to access the Internet I could not Google the sshnas21.dll virus or get any information on it. Luckily I keep my anti virus programs pretty well up to date so did a scan with Malwarebytes and it picked up the nasty little critter and zapped it. Once back on the Internet I updated the anti virus programs and did a bunch of full scans, including RemoveIT Pro which caught the little bugger again where it had been lurking somewhere in the depths. So a lesson learned, keep your anti virus programs up to date in case you can't access the Internet for an update when you really need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welo Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 I thought the lesson taught was: Don't ignore your antivirus program when it reports a threat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
