Yep. That's the critter that got me. Then when I got every thing reloaded and set up the way I wanted it got me again. So I reloaded again and this time tried to bullet proof it. Then the damn computer wouldn't shutdown properly. So, this time I formatted the HD and loaded everything from scratch rebooting after each step. 14 hours so far.
One thing I discovered is that you have to run that darn Norton Anti virus Live Update over and over until it says that nothing else needs updating if you want to cover all the latest nasties. MS Outlook Express won't recognize its own files if you back them up. So you have to start all over. I tried Pegasus, but it seems not ready for prime time. Things just aren't there even though it tells you how to use them im the help files, and things that are there aren't in the help files. So it's back to Netscape with its ads. The nasty thing about this virus (I think it really is a form of e-mail bomb) is that all you have to do is select the message for it to run. How do you delete it without selecting it? Comes up "can't complete the script" (I keep all the scripts turned off), when you have that message you are lost. Just scrape everything before it goes out to everyone in your address book. That is unless the fully update NAV can kill it. Did I say I had to run Live Update 5 times before it decided it had all the latest stuff? Getting disjointed and rambling so I guess I will stop here. Do I sound angry? Ciao, graywolf aimcompute wrote: > > A word to the wise... I found out today my system had contracted another > virus within the last week.
