| 87621 | 2002-10-10 00:04:00 | Hi all, Grisoft has a 2376.2Kb update for AVG, so you will have to reboot after installing! Symantec has 159Kb's of Micro-definitions for NAV,which is just their weekly update. These should keep "BugBear"and all those other little peskies out of your systems for a while! Cheers,Kiwitas,;-) |

| 87622 | 2002-10-10 02:06:00 | Now, speaking of that... Bugbear.. One machine got infected at work overnight while a customer was using it. Norton noticed that the file was infected but didnt do anything about it when we noticed in the morning that the printer was "Playing Up". Even restarting, norton would not stop the virus. I knew it was there, and that it was sending junk to the printer, but did nothing to stop it. Luckily, I've been using AVG. Scanned, found it, cleaned it, and installed it on a few others and found it'd slipped past norton on 2 other PCs on a netowrk of 9! GO AVG! |

| 87625 | 2002-10-10 03:21:00 | NOD 32 has had four updates in three days. Every one should be on 1.315, bugbear was detected from 1.309 and you should change your settings from the recommended 12 hours to once every 6 hours |

| 87627 | 2002-10-10 04:28:00 | Also once installed it will try to disable any virus-scanner / firewall present. Norton is almost certanly one of the ones it knows about. | bmason (508) | ||

| 87629 | 2002-10-10 05:24:00 | What's this about Norton's not catching bugbear? Mine did. I just went into my Norton quarantine report and found 2 copies of it dated 4th October. (ie it captured and isolated them last week) and deleted them. If you are using a copy of Nortons - is it up-to-date? Has the subscription expired and been ignored? Is live update activated? My virus definitions were last updated 9th Oct automatically. |
