Re: Possible permant cure for virus's !



I did use the Norton anti-virus and it could not disable or delete the files (when in Windows) because it had installed itself into Windows and was being used.  It could not delete the files while they were being used.  Which is why you have to exit Windows and go into DOS to delete it.  This was just to make other people who have been infected understand that because of the way this virus installs itself, it can't be deleted through Windows because Windows is using it.

Some may have to be configured by the user,

I didn't think I got infected, but when I updated the virus checker, it showed I was infected and couldn't be deleted because it had insinuated itself into windows.

It is scanned by "Norton" if it is a virus or has a infected/virus attachment it is stripped from the message or the whole message and attachment is deleted and does not go to "Windows" "DOS" or Outlook Express, ect.

You can tell when you get it because the worm just regurgitates a message and then says "look at this attachment". I got one just like it from a friend and deleted it. She swore that there was a real attachment there.
