55904 2002-06-21 09:33:00 Hi guys and gals:

I have caught a virus, and its nothing to do with the cold.......

I have NAV 2001 installed on my PC - with everything up do date. A close friend sent me an infected email, which NAV never picked up.....

Went to the "Symantec Security Check" site and ran a scan which picked up the following:

c:\Program Files\IncrediMail\Data\RunTime\Message\{C2233EF3-7C29-4ED5-BB8D-183C23A1B60C}\_IMVTemp_Show_friendscr1.scr is infected with W32.Yaha.F@mm
c:\Program Files\IncrediMail\Data\RunTime\Message\{C2233EF3-7C29-4ED5-BB8D-183C23A1B60C}\_IMVTemp_Reply_friendscr1.scr is infected with W32.Yaha.F@mm
c:\_RESTORE\TEMP\A0016345.CPY is infected with W32.Yaha.F@mm

Next I deleted all temp files, ran my installed NAV scanner which said I had no virus infection - but for peace of mind ran the online Symantec scanner, which told me the virus was still there.

What I want to know is, how do I remove this virus, and is it going to do any damage to my system?

Regards, BALDY
