I don't run java applets. To do so you must download it to your computer and then the JVM, Java Virtual Machine executes the files locally. Which is probably why Norton didn't catch them.
You can disable Java from running in IE under the Advanced tab. Scroll the list until you see java and either remove or add a check to the box as appropriate to disable it. Cheryl D. Wise Certified Professional Web Developer MS-MVP-FrontPage www.wiserways.com mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 713.353.0139 Office -----Original Message----- From: jdmajor Yesterday while I was surfing the internet using IE, I did a search for sound effects and while I was accessing the websites on the list, on one website I think it had to download some type of Java application. In the Java Jar, there were 3 viruses. I didn't automatically download any files. In order to view the sound effect I had to go to that particular website. Apparently, that was the wrong thing to do but the threat wasn't discovered until after the temporary application got on my computer. I believe that Norton should have stopped the download. If Norton found a virus on one of the chosen emails to download, it stopped the download of that particular email and deleted it before it was downloaded to my computer. Even though I have my Internet security at medium high to high, I think Norton slipped up, and let the viruses in! ____ • The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM • ____ To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Send Your Posts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To set a personal password send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the words: "set WDVLTALK pw=yourpassword" in the body of the email.
