| 115471 | 2003-01-20 19:02:00 | Is anyone aware of a virus that would prevent writing to your c: drive? | glenn (177) | ||
| 115472 | 2003-01-20 20:38:00 | Hmm... Not that I know of off the top of my head, but there is bound to be one somewhere. I know they can do it to floppies... Why? If there's not one, planning on creating one yourself? ;) :p If you check symantec.com they have a huge list of viruses, try your luck in there! |

| 115473 | 2003-01-20 20:55:00 | I was going to post something about a virus that continuously played the Windows "Critical Stop" sound in a loop every two seconds or so, causing any menus you open to close as soon as the sound played... It just started happening out of the blue for no reason :D Then I minimised all windows and found that ASUS PC Probe was having a tantrum about not being able to draw it's canvas for monitoring my computers "health" - I've had this a few times before, but only after leaving it on all night, not after an hour in the morning. Ended up killing it via Task Manager. |

| 115474 | 2003-01-20 22:17:00 | In what circumstances can you not write to your C: drive? For instance, while in Windows are you trying to use a prog that does direct disc writes instead of going through Windows. Windows disallows this. | Robin S_ (86) | ||
| 115475 | 2003-01-21 00:46:00 | A friend called me and told me he thought he had a klez.h worm. He downloaded a fix from f-prot but said it wouldn't run. He said he tried copying it to the hdd but said he couldn't. That sounds strange to me. The fix is windows based and wouldn't run under dos. I was going to stop by today to check it out myself so I thought I'd ask around for a bit of help :) Cheers |

| 115476 | 2003-01-21 00:48:00 | It could simply be that his HDD is VERY full!!! | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 115477 | 2003-01-21 00:59:00 | I thought that as well, but this is a really small file, about 100KB. I downloaded the DOS version of F-Prot and will see if I can get that to work. Thanks |

| 115478 | 2003-01-21 01:01:00 | Do you mean F-Prot is File Protector?? | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 115479 | 2003-01-21 01:05:00 | Nope. F-Prot Anti-Virus. www.f-prot.com |

| 115480 | 2003-01-22 07:29:00 | I was able to copy to the HDD after all . I'm not sure what my friend was doing when this happened to him . AVG found 281 infected files . Many hours later, things are peachy . Friend promises to update anti-virus software :) |
