If the problem is with antivirus only. It can likely be malware. Try a full system scan.

First of all, what's up with this extra bold, highly sized character?? It's irritating (Unless not needed)...

Now comes to your problem..
Do you connected via proxy? or it's direct connection?

If you're connected through proxy then make sure that your antivirus setting must be according to proxy setting only.. i.e username, password, and proxy address

Default Antivirus updates ==== Quick heal and Ez trust

i am connected and can surf anything....

No hurry to Update now. Ensure one them is a
resident program, ( ONLINE always) to detect any virus attack.

Please click Edit in your post and change the font.

1.Since the PC is 3 days old, and having two
AV programs/applications installed, could be a problem.
Dis-able one of them and try.


2.If you had purchased a "Brand" name computer call the
Service Engineer of that company.

3.If the PC is "assembled" the OS can be suspect. that
company also should assist you. Mention your O.S
.
4.Quick Heal is an Antivirus program Free trial program.
later you have to buy it.
5. Ez trust ( C.A associates) also a trial program.
May be for both trial period has expired.

6.Go to FileHippo.com - Download Free Software and
download a FREE Antivirus program.
AVG free recommended.

7. Then remove both QuickHeal and Ez trust AV applications.

Out of thread : for reference reg: BSNL BB connection ;

the symptoms u r telling i think ur pc is infected by conficker virus


reformat ur pc its the only solution

Users who do not have a genuine version of Windows from Microsoft are most at risk since pirated system usually cannot get Microsoft updates and patches.

Now that you mention it, and after checking rameshjee's thread(Are You Infected? A Smart and Simple Test (How to avoid prowling Conficker virus)), i feel its correct.

1. why you cannot contact your supplier of the system ?
2. open this and confirm. ( credit to :@rameshjee and @newprouser)
Mine tested . Normal. thanks.
Conficker Eye Chart

3. Download a different browser .
FireFox or Opera .
open the AV's web site. see any Update file can be downloaded.

Always welcome

Warn the person who gave you the system. Conficker spread through usb devices. So he may infect others also.

As you have formatted, immediately patch your system with all critical and relevant windows patches esp MS 08-067.

Unless you have patched this specific MS 08-067, your system is likely to be infected again.
