&quot;remote server can not be found&quot; that would simply means that you are unable to connect to them.<br />
<br />
I believe you are connected to the internet and are able to browse the internet and are also able to open any website. But when you try running the software provided by trading company you are unable to connect to their server.<br />
<br />
If that the case I would first check if you have any Firewall running on your system and disable it to check if that's causing the issue.<br />

Hello,<br />
The firewall was already turned off. I was told by my tech guy that some piece of software had<br />
interefered with the Services in Windows, (as if it might have been a virus). For example, he<br />
cannot successfully turn off certain pieces of software unless he goes into Safe Mode, (he hasn't<br />
done that yet).
</div>


<div>
The reason I was saying what I was saying was that I learned from IT courses that a common<br />
target of viruses is the numbers in your (my) credit card. I was just making a hypothesis about<br />
how the virus could have targeted the presence of the financial software.
</div>


<div>
Those are good resources to look into. I am completely new to the &quot;Malware&quot; Expert game. I have a little PC at home with a lot of different software on it.<br />
The first thing that I learned to prevent these types of things was that I could not have that many applications running at the same time. That kept them out for a long time.
</div>


<div>
Thanks for the points, however there are few more things which I would suggest you should look at.<br />
<br />
These days the viruses and malware are very advanced and they not only attack the system vulnerability but also attacks the different applications which are vulnerability to attack.<br />
<br />
For example,<br />
Java Runtime Environment also called as JRE<br />
Adobe Flash which is used to view Flash related websites like Youtube and Facebook<br />
<br />
These are the common ones and one should update them regularly.<br />
<br />
I hope that would help too.<br />

Hello,<br />
I am doing virtual trading with my PC. I paid $29.95 for a one month subscription to this<br />
service that is for downloading the stock market data, so that I can prepare my trading<br />
strategies in the spare time that I have after work. This data service will not access the<br />
data because the computer says &quot;remote server can not be found&quot;. (The same error happened<br />
with a competitor's downloading product). Is there something about the nature of financial<br />
packages that I should be alerted to in order to keep out what apparently is the result of a virus? Is there some antivirus related package that I should subscribe to for example so<br />
that I can say that &quot;...the cost of having the stock market virtual trading is exactly ...X dollars per month?&quot; I don't like the idea of having hidden costs in the project. I would rather know in advance EXACTLY how much money it takes to do the virtual trading per month.

stock data downloader consistently gets hit by viruses, how to prevent?

Anti-virus software was originally developed to detect and remove computer viruses. However, with the proliferation of other kinds of malware, antivirus software started to provide protection from other computer threats. In particular, modern antivirus software can protect from malicious browser helper objects (BHOs), browser hijackers, ransomware, keyloggers, backdoors, rootkits, trojan horses, worms, malicious layered service providers (LSPs), dialers, fraud tools, adware and spyware. Some products also include protection from other computer threats, such as infected and malicious URLs, spam, scam and phishing attacks, online identity theft (privacy), online banking attacks, social engineering techniques, Advanced Persistent Threat (APT), botnets and DDoS attacks.

Anti-Virus Apps

Spyware is software that aims to gather information about a person or organization without their knowledge and that may send such information to another entity without the consumer's consent, or that asserts control over a computer without the consumer's knowledge; it has also come to include programs that engage in various kinds of electronic fraud. Anti-spyware is software that removes or blocks that software; some common vendors include Malwarebytes, McAfee, Spybot-Search and Destroy, Ad-Aware and BitDefender.

Anti-Spyware

Software firewalls, also known as host-based firewalls, provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine. Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.
