-Caveat Lector-
Dear List,
Yesterday morning when I turned on my work computer in the office, my
daily update from McAfee Clinic included an announcement that I had a
virus-infected file named "cleanup.exe" in my Eudora temporary files. McAfee
was unable to clean it and suggested manual eradication.
I did this by deleting the file. I checked my almost identical Dell
computer at home and it does not have a file named cleanup.exe anywhere, so
I guess the corrupted file doesn't need replacement. Usually there is other
garbage that goes on when your pc gets a virus, as with other files added.
However, when I tried to find out about these by going to Symantec.com and
looking through their virus encyclopedia, I struck a blank. Cleanup.exe was
not recognized by Symantec at all as any virus it had ever seen, and I've
never failed with them before.
So I guess my work computer is okay, but I really don't know and I'm
nervous. After deleting the file a virus scan now pronounces the harddrive
to be clean, but would it know if remnant associated files were left behind?
BTW, my vigilant McAfee shield did not pick this up, and I did not open
any executable attachments. I also do not read my mail in Eudora--I use
Outlook Express, and keep my colleague's university mail in Eudora so we
don't get the two confused. The only email she gets is academic stuff from
scholarly lists and there have been no executable attachments. I still can't
figure out how we acquired this one, but if anyone has received mail from me
with suspicious looking attachments PLEASE let me and the list know, as I am
worried about what mischief the virus might have done before I caught it.
