Connie, I'm replying both directly to you and to the silver-list.

One of the "features" of the MPX virus is to intercept and block attempts by your browser to reach certain domains -- particularly those of the popular anti-virus sites! You might do a web search that will bring up the Norton site and try getting in from the search results link rather than directly. I found that this worked on some pages where typing in the url directly or trying to use a "favorites" entry both caused IE to stop with a Fatal Error message. Try it! > > Any tips? > > Please reply privately. > > Connie An alternative is the following site, where I found the instructions and tools I used to clean my machine: http://www.antivirus.com/pc-cillin/vinfo/virusencyclo/default5.asp?VName=PE_MTX.A You can use their free web-based virus scanner and follow the somewhat complicated instructions on the page above, or the related page on the TROJAN_MTX.A companion trojan horse program. For whatever reason, I was able to get into this site, so the virus' authors evidently missed blocking this one. Let us know how it goes. Be well, Mike D.
