Must be a Virus, but NAV scan shows nothing abnormal. 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!

Just another option :-)

27329 2001-12-11 10:27:00 I vaguely remember a 'prank' program like this.... suggest you try moving your cursor around in the top corners of your desktop.If a control window appears, it's the program I'm thinking of. Guest (0)
