| 405027 | 2005-11-17 08:29:00 | of course i'm using AVG but a question if i may - the test result today quoted "viral infection found" - which was, from the info window, objects:-boot sector of disk C result:-reading error apparently i have version 7.1.362 virus base 276.133.3/173 doesn't make a lot of sense to me so was wondering if someone would enlighten me please |

| 405030 | 2005-11-17 18:48:00 | sorry, can't seem to get it to copy to anything - can export it but ????? Press "Print Screen" then paste into MS Paint or any other image program. Sounds like a boot sector virus, have you allowed AVG to remove the infection? Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 405031 | 2005-11-17 20:44:00 | yeah, that's what it is - the top 2 entries in results are object result status partition table (MBR) - change - changed boot sector of disk C - reading error - error in the object summary - infected = 1 cleaned etc. = 0 and also virus identified java/openstream C:\WINDOWS\.ipi_cache\jar\1.0\javainstaller.jar-31f07c88-3938fc65.zip |

| 405033 | 2005-11-17 22:55:00 | thanks for that Paul, will do all - seems it will/should do the trick | jayal (1291) | ||
| 405034 | 2005-11-18 03:36:00 | but it didn't, so i tried to be a little inventive!! - the virus is called "java/openstream" so i remembered there is an icon on control panel - clicked it, opened the cache tab and cleared the cache - then in win explorer deleted the folder "ipi_cache" - no surprises yet, so maybe i've fluked it?? - guess another scan will be the real test | jayal (1291) | ||
| 405035 | 2005-11-18 04:01:00 | Its good practice to flush the Java cache and then disable the feature. | Metla (12) | ||
| 405036 | 2005-11-21 09:02:00 | Metla, can i ask? what to do to disable the feature? | jayal (1291) | ||
