Viruses that knockout internet access?
Anyone know of viruses that might make getting online impossible? I'm working on a friend's PC. He uses dial-up, win98se, doesn't know much about 'puters or security. He has Norton AV, but has never updated it. So, I took it home and threw it on my network (it has a nic which looks to be properly configured and working - it's getting an IP from my router's DHCP server). I can't seem to get online with the thing. So, I updated his AV by downloading the DAT file on my pc, burning it, and putting it on his. Now that I'm running it, it's found 14 viruses so far. I'll see what they are specifically once it's done running, but has anyone seen a virus that will knockout Internet access? Or is it more likely an IE/NIC/win98 issue?
...this one goes to 11...
