Hi Jim,
Are you saying that you think there is a virus then still
in my computer? Wouldn't Symantec's instructions include
all things one must do to rid onself of it? This virus
was supposed to change the registry. It did not. Is
there anything else I can do to look for malicious files?
Regards,
Anima
