I run the norton fixLgate under dos but the virus comes back after a couple of days. Is it time released? Would i have to reformat? Or is it a popular virus going around? Please advise.

thanks,

What OS are you using? It could be resident in System Restore (which Norton cannot clean) or a system cataloging file!

If you have system restore you should disable it and restart the computer to clear the file, then scan again. once you're clean you can re-enable it.

Don't forget to delete the virus from the Quarantine folder. If it keeps coming in the mail, write the sender - they may not know they have it.

The office computer gets a lot of junk mail. Perhaps it's coming in from that? I have no idea about system restore but i'm running win2k.

thanks for the info.

Is your AV software detecting the virus in incoming mail? Where are the viruses found? Check your logs.

If you're using Norton, empty the Norton Protected files.

Yeah, we're using norton. This worm makes files everywhere. I think i found out who has this virus so it's coming in from that sender's email. I guess everytime that virus hit's it infects other computer and to get rid of it I run Norton's downloaded virus program to fix the registery.
