    Hi Guys,

    Clearwire have disabled me as I was spamming the network apparently. Can anyone tell me about anything about this? I did a virus check last night and got rid of a Trojan that seemed to of been there for a short while so they've re-enabled me but has it happened to anyone else?

    This can generally happen to anyone from any ISP. Generally, it is NOT frowned upon as your [any] zombie machine is contributing to spam and/or the distribution of virii and/or trojans.

    Just be thankful that Clearwire let you know so you could remedy the situation.

    *EDIT* Spelling

    Eircom rang a friend of mine and warned him he had one. I found it using www.silentrunners.org and manually removed the hidden registry entries.
    Brill software for those expert enough to use Taskmanager, safemode and regedit. Misreports some DELL netropia keyboard drivers as trojans. If that happens to you, reboot with last known and the keyboard will be back.
