Thanks for your comments. I am not certain what
actually happened here. The day after I detected what I thought was a virus, I
received two more warnings that I had been infected. The viruses warning was on
the screen and each one had a different extension .. ie a, b, c etc. As if they
were in alphabetical order.
I deleted InoculateIT thinking it was deleting good
files. It was late, I was tired. I could not delete all of InoculateIT and then
I began getting alerts at bootup that the computer could not find specific
virus.dat files. Sure, because I had deleted them! Duh! Dumb me.
I then went into the registry and deleted what I
assumed was all traces of InoculateIT. I must have really screwed up because
after that I no longer could get a clean copy of my registry.
Actually it did me a favor. My registry was heavy with
2 1/2 years of hardware changes, updates and so on. Because my life is
complicated I am giving it to the fellow who installed the network. I now
believe I was in error in assuming it was his software. He uses it often during
the day at his job so I doubt it was infected.
If I had a worm does it come as an attachment? I
received no attachments so I cannot figure out where I got it from. I don't
think I really know how a worm acts aside from emailing everyone in my address
book and that did not happen.
I will use my husbands computer and let our friend
format for me. My mom is ill and I care for her and life is complicated to take
the time to do it myself.
Any comments will be appreciated. I need to learn from
this.
