Have home ed of XP and Nortons Antivirus 2002 installed.
the latter stops viruses through email but not sure if xp
is preventing it from repairing them.

They are quarantined but NAV says unable to repair them,
even the snow white one. Scanning with fixKlez is of no
use or NAV in safe start up mode either as no infections
found. Obviously means quarantine is not readable and
fixable or NAV is corrupt by a virus already?
I am a good virus buster scanning regulary too so don't
know what else to do.

Have emailed NAV about problem.

I am still getting viruses through my email even though I
have security at medium and NAV installed. I thought
firewall with xp was meant to be protection too. Retailer
would have me believe I didn't really need NAV at all.
Glad I didn't listen to him.
NAV reassures me xp and their 2002version do not clash at
all.
Yes I do constantly update for xp and NAV.

Nortons advises if viruses found in Restore or systems to
scan with boot disc and also Restore off. It states this
purges restore but I can't find out how much of restore
is purged. don't want the lot as I may need to use it
still.
Also can't find out where to set restore points myself.

Any answers. I have gone through 539 messages on NAV site
to no avail.
Thanks
Suzanne
