| 212520 | 2004-02-03 04:55:00 | My mums work is reportidly getting e-mails from our home address containing the W32/Mydoom.a@MM virus. I have run several antiv-viruses programs (A2, AVG, McFee...) which have not detected this infection, including the symantic removal tool. I also have ZoneAlarm and Ad-aware running in the background which should block any harmful traffic. I am lost as to what I can do (besides reformating which I would rather not), and it doesn't seem to be causing any harm, but am mystified as to whats going on (the original infections appears to have come from my sisters computer)? | Craig (448) | ||
