21458 2001-10-15 02:38:00 I am using Windows ME, and Norton Anti Virus 2002. The log file reveals that the JS Exploit Virus could not be deleted as access denied. Subsequent scans do not show an infected file.
1. Is the virus still there?
2. If it is any ideas of how to delete it?

21459 2001-10-15 03:47:00 I have encountered this problem many times, from what I can tell, this is not a virus, but an exploit - embedded in the webpage, therefore, norton antivirus can't remove it. This exploit is designed to do things like change favourites, and to reset your homepage. Guest (0)
21460 2001-10-15 06:39:00 Yeah, it also mucks up word, 2000 and the normal template. the real point is how to remove it from IE Dat 5 if it is still present. I read in F1 about ieliminator, which gives a clean uninstall of Explorer. Does anyone know if this will remove the worm. Guest (0)
