| 52263 | 2002-06-03 19:34:00 | Based on the info you have provided I think we can narrow the list of possible virus's down to about 1.3m give or take a few...... www.grisoft.com Here is a link for a free AV program called AVG. Get it, install and run it, then update it and run it again and see what it burps up. Change one setting in it, it defaults to checking for updates once every 30 days, too far apart, reduce that to say every 7 days or less. It also does email scanning. Make sure you enable it. And last of all, don't accept or run files from people you don't know, it will cause you a heap less heart ache. |

| 52264 | 2002-06-04 02:50:00 | Run a free virus scan from http://housecall.antivirus.com first (love that site!), then tackle the problem by buying some antivirus software such as Nortons (shudder) or CA InoculateIT (Etrust)! | Guest (0) | ||
