Sue you must have missed my threads on: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg09448.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg09449.html
AV software is only as good as its definitions updates. I now use Kaspersky, and it has had at LEAST 4 updates A DAY since I've started using it! PCcillin since then, has had a TOTAL of only 2 in about a week! If your AV software can only find malware during a manual scan, it's either not setup properly for its "real time" virus scanner/monitor, or is no good. -Clint God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ) ----- Original Message ----- From: "scubic" A virus got through Norton. For 2 weeks now, I have gotten a message from someone I don't know, and then a follow-up message from some network admin saying that the message had been refused as a virus. Today I decided to investigate. The virus msg came from china.net. It would not let me delete it from my attachment file in Eudora. The error message was "access denied". So, I took the time to run a virus check through Norton. 4 hours later!....I'm informed by Norton that it found the virus (in the folder where I already knew it was). In Norton, I had the option of quarantining and then deleting the virus. The virus had 2 identifiers--Delivery.system.com and Download.Trojan. I have Norton automatic updates, and when I manually checked for updates before I started the scan, it told me my updates were complete. So, why did this virus get through, and why couldn't I just delete the file? I'm not really "afraid" of these things, as I do know workarounds to get rid of them, and know better than to execute them. However, I do not want to have to run a full virus scan (taking 4 hours) in order to be able to delete them! Sue ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
