Title: Virus on computer... messed up my x10? What should I do?
Post by: bonoberrydynamite5 on December 31, 2007, 07:34:26 PM

I had this program on my computer as well as my x10 program... the activehome plus. Well... the other program caused a virus that totally messed up my computer... causing e to resort to flushing my computer. Ever since then, my lights on x10 have not been working properly.

Do you have any suggestions for what to do?

1. Get a Good Anti-virus program. Keep it updated as often as it wants.

2. After doing a full scan, back up Everything to external media (CDs', zip disks, usb flash drives) and do a deep level reformat of your hard drive.

3. re-install everything and set your aps to what you want. including AHP.
