I've even had times when a specific identified worm has an offline removal tool specifically for *it* released by norton/eset/mcafee/microsoft. It cleans, it passes the tests, and two weeks later, that machine is infected again, but nobody else on the network has the infection. Reformat once, and problem never comes back. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
