| HI there! My computer has the bloodhound virus and I cannot get rid of it.
| Why is there not a patch or something that can be done about it? Why can't
| Norton do anything about it? I use Norton- but I had 3 virus' this year
and I
| did the research and found the solution without the help of Norton. Why do
we
| need Antivirus protection and spend all this money on something that does
not
| seem to help? What is the bloodhound virus and where does it come from?
What
| is going to be done about it? I have read some of the other posts- and it
| seems scary what is happening with this particular virus on their
computers-
| I can still access the internet, but I do get booted off quite a bit and
| Norton keeps sending me warnings saying I have the Bloodhound virus and
| Norton cannot do anything- why is that?? Is McFee better? Is there a
program
| that can take care of the bloodhound virus? What should I be doing right
now?
| I have tried resetting the time and date, I have downloaded something from
| pctools and kixtart and something else- nothing is working I still get the
| warning.
