Please note that Qtel cannot guarantee the effectiveness of these software vendors however, other users have reported that using the latest versions of these programs often resolves the problem and ensures that PC systems are free of damaging viruses. You should ensure that you are using the latest version of any similar anti-virus software that you may already have installed on your PC. Please also ensure that you have an authorized copy of Microsoft Windows / Vista and that 'Automatic updates' are turned on and that the latest security updates have been installed. If you are using a WiFi connection on your barQ ADSL Internet service, please ensure that the security feature is enabled on your WiFi router.
If you (or someone sharing your connection) are voluntarily taking part in the spamming activity, we request you to immediately cease such activities as it violates your usage policy, as stated in the General Terms & Conditions of the barQ ADSL Internet service.

CAN ANYONE KNOW TO FIND A SOLUTION
correct used mozilla instead of explorer... its much safer.
also put password on ur modem. lastly get anti-virus.
Stop browsing porn...everything will be fine :P
I use Mozilla Firefox, which has the option of clearing history, cookies, temp folders, etc. everytime you close it... works well for me ;-)
Somebody is using your wireless.
I have got this many times... You need to install anti-virus.
Yes.. this means your computer is full of virus...
I Recomonded you: Plz format your full PC as soon as possible by backing up ur important files and contents.Then install antivirus,enable firewall thats it....If u r a normal user then no need lolz.......
Got it many times, just clear entire history, temp internet files, cookies and start surfing again.
surfing on various site without protection mode causes spamming using a hotspotshield for anonymous log-in is also a no no, once detected by q-tel using other conduit/vpn they will blocked your line. Call q-tel for re-activation.
1. Check your all your e-mail and reset passwords.
2. Download malwarebytes its free and remove spams.
3. don't open unknown mail sender
4. avoid downloads/opening from unknown author cyberbots/spams and virus are mostly attached.
hope this helps.
