| 31064 | 2002-01-13 08:42:00 | I recently installed Norton Anti-virus on a partially blind relative's machine. Today Norton intecepted an email and quarantined it. To be certain he wasn't missing anything he opened the email (and the attachment no less!)anyway. He's now scanned his disk using Norton and it found 3 files affected and these have been quarantined also. It appears to have been the goner virus (at any rate, by dint of peering at it with the magnifying glass that is what he thinks it is) I've received 3 emails from him this afternoon and all were free of viruses. Question: Could Norton have been corrupted by this virus? Should I head round there and use the Norton removal tool from their web site? |

| 31065 | 2002-01-13 09:21:00 | I have had a few probs with the W32 and Magister viruses and have found that it is easier in the long run to use the removal tool - saves a lot of grief later on. You think you have removed these suckers but they are sometimes lurking... better safe than sorry. | Guest (0) | ||
