    You will be promted to install an ActiveX component from Kaspersky, Click Yes or Install.
    • The program will launch and then begin downloading the latest definition files:
    • Once the files have been downloaded click on NEXT
    • Now click on Scan Settings
    • In the scan settings make that the following are selected:
      • Scan using the following Anti-Virus database:
      • Extended (if available otherwise Standard)
      • Scan Options:
      • Scan Archives
        Scan Mail Bases
    • Click OK
    • Now under select a target to scan:
      • Select My Computer
    • This will program will start and scan your system.
    • The scan will take a while so be patient and let it run.
    • Once the scan is complete it will display if your system has been infected.
      • Now click on the Save as Text button:
    • Save the file to your desktop.
    • Copy and paste that information in your next post.

    This was just updated, let me know if there was any problems.

    Hi
    Did a pop-up blocker bar show up at the top of your browser?

    FireFox may be blocking the download of the ActiveX control. You need to allow it

    Hi fortunateden

    OK I just tried using Kaspersky with Firefox, It will not work.

    You will need to use Internet Explorer to get a scan.

    Hi
    OK, Can you open IE?
    Do you have the incon on your desk top?

    If not, then click on start > All Programs. Look for Internet Explorer in the list and click on it.

    Once it's open copy and paste this into the Address Bar and click on the go button to the right of the address bar,
    Code:

    Hi Geri,
    No icon on desktop, nor is it on all programs. Dont think I have ever used it on this computer. For some reason, I am thinking it was deleted at one time...

    Highlight and copy the following bolded command, quotes included.

    "%programfiles%\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe "

    Now click Start>Run and paste the command in the run dialog, then hit enter.

    Having Mozilla open shouldn't matter. After IE opens, paste the following in the address window then hit enter.

    I'm a bit confused.

    1. You did open Internet Explorer successfully?

    2. You were able to view the msn.com homepage with Internet Explorer?

    3. You used Internet Explorer to go to the Kaspersky link in my post(s) above, but it says 'page cannot be displayed'?

    4. Just what page wants to know what operating system you have, and what are you intending to download (provide a link please)?

    1. Never opened Internet explorer successfully.
    Kept getting error message "page cannot be displayed ", but then I got :http://www.msn.com/ in the address bar.
    2. Went to the MSN homepage, search and found link to go toWindows directly and download Internet explorer http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/ie/getitnow.mspx
    This is the page that asked me what operating system I have.
    I tried to download IE 7 for Windows Server , and then I got the message, "not supported by this operating system "

    OK ........ please don't download and install anything until we get your problems sorted out, other than what is recommended.

    Download Winsock XP Fix. Close all open programs and connections. Run winsock XP Fix and select Fix.

    Reboot.

    Now try running Internet Explorer again.
