got home tonight Norton is going crazy about virus hit after a routine scan - many in the folding directory - with folding type names - admin privileges were all screwed up - norton was screwed up - i shut it down until i have some time to investigate

this is on a win2k machine - xp machine sitting next to it is fine

this box is scanned by norton and avg every night -

do yourself a favor and scan now


will post more details later, of course tonight all the kids are in outright rebellion


UPDATE:

ok, fired my rig back up so i could sidescan it from another box

nada, zippo

norton log shows nothing

rescanning now - c drive is clean, now on d

weird.................

I have two machines folding and scanned them both. Both are all clean but both are running XP also.

scaned my 2k and it is clean.. im also behind a smoothwall.

scanned my win2k machine....its clean....

but I keep on getting a virus detected and deleted. Something called MSMSGRI32.exe, detected as Proxy-Slanper- Trojan

its always deleted...but gets created again and I cant figure out why....nothing is showing any details about it

Hey.. Did ya try msconfig/Startup?
Or look around in the registry?

i updated all the av software and ran full scans - system was a little flaky from heat issues at tht time this happened - unless there is a virus out there than can erase both norton and avg scan logs....i will run awadare and spybot tonight to make sure there is nothing else

very odd - i didn't write down the names that the av proggies were showing b/v the system was hard locked
