I not saying it does not have a virus. However, if you read my thread
ranting about McAfee Firewall, I related a story (short version) that McAfee
alerted on a file that I had had for 5 years. However, the new DAT alerted.
McAfee non-tech support said then it must have a virius (even on a burnt CD
that was several years old). I sent them the files per their instructions
and never received a response. About 6 months later, the virus miraculously
was removed from the file on the hard drive and the burnt CD-R.
With that said, do you have the newest virus definitions from Norton? Could
try AVG AV. It is free.

I'm running Win XP Home SP2 and I have religiously maintained current Norton
Antivirus definitions and have done weekly virus scans. In fact, I recently
ran a free online scan from the Trend Micro website. All scans have been
consistently negative.
Today I downloaded and ran the free version of Avast antivirus and it found
the Win95 Spaces virus in an mp3 file that I had downloaded over a year ago.
I then scanned that specific file with NAV and it did not find a virus.
Can anyone shed any light on this disparity? Is there a "gold standard"
virus scan that I can do? Will simply deleting the mp3 file solve the
problem?
