Help! Got infected?
My firewall blocks a worm every few hours, but when I scan it with AntiVirus, I found nothing.

sounds like it says it's been blocking worms from getting in?????
if this is true then, then your pc did not get infected. |

The firewall is doing its job. It's keeping the worm out.

If its inbound your fine, if its outbound then you have a problem. Your virus scanner was updated a month ago? thats old! It should never be more than a week. Mine gets updated almost every day.

Have you tried scanning your system with a dedicated trojan scanner?

Tried a trojan scanner and found nothing, does that mean my firewall only blocking the worms from coming in my computer and I am not infected?
