guess I am blonde............
I know Internet got super insecure nowadays. I am working on getting smarter....the books are piling up....but all these PC issues keep me away from studying them..............and honestly, my mind is set to transfer to Linux. But I need this windows engine for my spouse............and I am the only one careing for Updates/Antivirus/ etc............
I have never had so many issues at once.......
Because of these DOS Attacks and a MAC Adress that always gets rejected and does not belong to any of our devices (I checked them all), I shut down the whole system, if we do not need it.
Pulling the plug.
Maybe not the most advanced way to solve the problem.....
I studied the manual from my router..... it is weird, that I do not find the firewallsettings in my routers settings as described in the manual.... I checked all menue entries............ ?????????
As far as resetting......I guess you do not mean just to unplug the modem/router plug.... right......
I wished I knew more about this Tech stuff..... its not a lack of interest, more finding the right sources and internet is great, but it takes sometimes forever to find qualified information, that gives you hands on advice.........
I really do hope to meet some people here in the future (who know more than me) I can bother with my questions.......
I knew about zonealarm, but can't tell you, why I did not install it after the recovery I did in December....
Was not sure if it is compatible with the windows firewall...guess that was the problem....
Is it compatible with Windows-Firewall and Avast?
So, reset the whole system. Sounds good to me........makes sense.........
But, how do I do that? is it that Factory reset Button in the router setting software?
And still, there are so many things I do need to make research on from WSP till port forwarding, port triggering...........and so on.....list is endless long.
My magnetboard is full with topics to learn.
The transfer from a just windowclicking person without knowing what really is going on, I work my way through, to a person, that understands the system under the hud. But it really is a challenge right now and time consuming
But I am working on it.
Like I mentioned before..... if it was just my engine..... Linux. Immediately! And my personal pc will be hopefully soon transfered to Linux.
But that has to wait till this windows engine is ready to go..... and secure.
Wished I would have studied that computer stuff or have more people around me who are interested in that stuff.....
I know, you are here to help with malware removal..... but if you could give me advice how to reset that whole system, it would be great.
I really do apologize for asking so much!
