Well Soshos are the first to see viruses a lot of times.
So I say them, although it's VERY expensive.

hi people ,

i went to the site... as soon as it loaded it pop up with a download option...which anybody would deny... naturaly!

first rule on the net is... do not download anything or install anything out of the net unless you are certain about the people or the company behind it.

for those curious people out there... remeber the saying.... "curiousity killed the cat"

its all in the message

JoeB. — Sun, 07 Mar 2004 10:08:10 GMT

hi,

with pop-up's like these... i never trust the "yes" or "no" buttons, i try to use the "close windows button X".
if you didn't hit yes then maybe the action code of the buttons have been reversed...
it also poped back in after i left the site... and these pops are the most dangerous typ!
also never touch the trusty check... not even with company's that you are certain of,
i have seen instances where once it has been checked, it stays checked... even if you uncheck it.

Joe

Norton definitely sucks ! it's hell to configure properly and erase your files without asking. It erased my thunderbird inbox. Symantec support is expensive and sucks as well.
the free version of Antivir free-av.com finds more viruses than Mc Affee and Norton AV, plus it can be free following your use of it, and you can tune it the way you like.
I uninstalled Norton even if it was bundled with my laptop. Hope sony will switch to a more decent antivirus editor in the future.

Harry,

Here are three free programs which could clean this up for you. After you download them be sure to use the "Search for Updates" option within the program before running them. Try them in the order listed.

Hope they fix it for you.

Then you use

Nope, it needs to be accessible through a URL.

Hi Harry

Let Spybot delete all the RED ones and see if that does it.
There is a Backup under "Recovery" which you can replace if need be in the event of any problems
