| 31724 | 2002-01-18 02:29:00 | That depends - which virus? how badly was the computer affected? Will it still load windows? | Guest (0) | ||
| 31725 | 2002-01-18 02:42:00 | The best thing to do when you have a virus and you're not sure what to do is to go here www.symantec.com and run the virus scan from the site....this will identify the virus and you then have all the resources you need to remove it ranging from removal tools to detailed instructions on how to remove it manually. | Guest (0) | ||
