Re: [RC] puter crash: - Bette LamoreHi PatOne thing you will want to do is to click on Control panel, then System, then the System Restore panel, then check the box for "Turn off System Restore on all drives", then re-run your fix. This will insure that your system Restore will not restore your computer at some future time to a period where the virus existed. This was strongly suggested by Symantic when I removed the MiMail Worm (asks you to open a Zip file, stating it is from your e-mail administrator and then gives the host name to look legitimate--- new in August and fooled me AND my Norton. My administrator has been doing some server changes lately so I believed it--- oh well. A sucker is born every..... Good luck!! Bette and Bunny--- who also does NOT like worms!!!! AND YES-- get the patch from Microsoft or you will get this virus again--- it is running rampant on the internet! Douglas M Gifford wrote: Hi I was the original poster on this one. Apparently my son picked up the lovescan virus thru the Internet. I could not get on for very long. He heard about this virus on the news right after I started having trouble. I went into my computer and asked it to restore my hard disk to an earlier date. This allowed me to get on line long enough to down load McAffee on-line virus scan. We ran a scan on the puter and sure enough McAffee found this "worm" and deleted it. My question to you Mike or any of the other puter geeks(I love you all so!) out there is Do I need to do anything further? (like manually delete anything?) Should I download the patch from Microsoft?
