On another computer I own, I am now getting a message that
says I should connect to www.patchwindows.org to download
an update that has something to do with a "buffer
overrun". I have closed the window, so I don't have the
exact wording. Anyway, this other computer is runnig
windows XP. Do I trust that I need this patch, or is this
some kind of virus?
Also, whenever I reboot, I get a message that either me or
a program on my computer is trying to send information to
insec.nlan.org. I keep closing the pop-up after
checking "Don''t remind me about this until the next time
I reboot". If I don't check this box, the pop-up keeps
coming back. Is this a virus?
I should explain that this is my son's computer which he
uses at college. He has brought it home, and I noticed
that NAV 2003 was no longer installed. I am trying to re-
install it, and, while it installs "successfully", it
won't launch. I have downloaded the removal tool for all
previous versions of NAV, which I have run per the
directions at Symantec. Before re-installing the NAV
software, I have decided to do a Windows update, which I
am currently running on his computer (7 hour download!!!).
I had anticipated that, after this download/install had
been completed, that I would try to re-install NAV 2003.
Have the things I have done in any way caused these
problems?
Thanks in advance!!!!
