| 274406 | 2004-09-21 13:24:00 | Hi I hope someone can advise me please. Im using ZAL Security Suite V5; which told me recently it had detected and cleaned a virus. but no details. How can I find out what it was 'cos I think it hasnt got the lot. Since then all my peripherals/plug ins have gone down one by one - monitor, keyboard, printer, scanner then modem. I have uninstalled and reinstalled all drivers. I thought I was sweet but now my keyboard has gone again. I was stunned recently to read in PCW mag that most virus checkers dont check the registry. Surely this is the main place attacked? Is there some way I can find interlopers in registry? or something else i should do . I know to get fixes from Nortons etc but need to i know what they are first. Why cant I find virus details on ZAL have I set it incorrectly? I have been to their support site but couldnt find the right forum to search. |

The evaluation version will detect and show you where the infections are, but will not clean them. Still it is handy to know where you can find the little beggars, and you can delete the listings manually. | Pheonix (280) | ||
