Re: Beige G3 Problems/ YOU HAVE A VIRUS!

[David M. Ensteness]

Seven dust is actually the name of the virus, there are several 
variants, most do not have a payload and therefore do not do any damage 
to your system. Regardless, getting rid of it with Norton can be hit 
and miss, one trick to use is to create a folder in the extensions 
folder and cut and paste the name from the 666 extension to the folder. 
Files can not over write folders so this will keep it away from showing 
up there. You can do a search for seven dust on Norton's site and read 
more about it.

IN case someone hasn't told you already,
You hace the 666 virus.
I had the same thing on my G4 when i first bought it.
You must use a virus killer
I used norton antivirus and it worked fine, however depending how long 
that 666 extension has been there, the system probably has been 
damaged by it.
delete it now, and run norton antivirus.untill it is gone.

Another question, I have an extension in my extension folder, looks 
like this: 666. If I click
on it to get info, there is no info about it,  also when I deactivate 
this extension, it will
be back in the extension folder after the next startup, what could 
that be?

Any ideas?
