Im just trying to in install ubuntu and its updates from the live 10.10 CD included with the Ubuntu unleashed official book. I dont know much about the OS or what information is needed to be given exactly in this bug report so i appoligies. Om previously a windows user but my network was compromised and I believe I'm getting DoS attacks and all my systems are zombies. I have wiped my hdd but it goes alot deper than that. It resembles the conflictor and TDSS.TDL-4 worms that ive looked up. There are tools and security update releases offered from all major OS and virus protection companies but I cant upgrade anything it seems with security related things.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

security vulnerability:	yes → no
visibility:	private → public
