Updated definitions 1 week back, did a complete scan. So what Virus is this? and how do I restore things to normal. |

| 27326 | 2001-12-11 08:57:00 | the Magistr virus can do this, and it also has a habit of disabling Norton Anti Virus! ( u cant win either way can you!!!) take a look at www.sarc.com for more details on the virus and how to get rid of it...good luck |

| 27327 | 2001-12-11 09:00:00 | Could be the Magistr virus, which seems to be making the rounds at the moment (my AV has picked it up in about 5 emails lately). Have a look here: securityresponse.symantec.com Could be any number of other similar viruses though, so do a search at www.symantec.com (same as the above link) and see what you come up with. No idea why your AV didn't show up with anything - maybe its a new one! |
