304950 2004-12-18 02:40:00 Those two are in your Temp files and cache - I suggested that you clear them before running the AV proggies, remember? ;)

Ccleaner is a really good program to use prior to AV/maintenance on computers. Actually, since you say it is a "used" computer, I would be reformatting to get a nice clean little beastie if it were mine. :2cents:

304951 2004-12-18 02:43:00 bloodhound is nortons generic term.

with worms you do not need to go to any site to be infected, simply being on the net is enough. there is little point being on the net if you do not have sufficent sicurity as you will be infected very quickly. install a firewall (or at least turn MS's one on) and go update windows.

304952 2004-12-18 02:51:00 damn .. am i going mad .. is there no repair for Bloodhound.Packed.3 ? Lovelee (6586)
304953 2004-12-18 02:53:00 well that does it ..
Bugger Nortons .. I have 1 lappy and 2 other PCs .. all them run AVG .. and I have zero troubles .. Im uninstalling norton ..
Thanks guys ..

I might add ... Stinger has juss finished running .. and it shows 13 infected and repaired files ..

304954 2004-12-18 02:56:00 Maybe not so quick on Norton - it was doing its stuff. Did it not give the option of putting the file into quarantine ? Usual if it cannot repair.
As tweak'e says, get a firewall running anyway.
