RE: Possible virus in System Volume Information



thnx for the quick response Panda,

> 1) You connect to internet too early without firewall and a hacher gets into
> your PC and loads a malware

i'll explain how i install...
when NOT connected to the internet:
I change BIOS setup by selecting cd-rom as primary boot device
I reboot my pc with winxp cd inserted
I select "start pc from cd"
Now i can format the drive and install winxp
So i install:
1- winxp home
2- MSI mainboard drivers
3- Norton internet security

At this time i have this 3 programs installed WITHOUT updates
Now i must connect to the internet to update the programs,
but after the 1st or 2nd reboot when installing windows updates i get
a popup from windows messenger which tells me my system is infected with
spyware
"Download Repair Registry Pro" it says
I don't do that because i presume this is spyware or malware or whatever

Like you say i prolly connect to the internet to early,
but i have to update the programs :(

Q: Is there a way to download ALL the updates from Windows & Norton in
advance ?
All security patches, virus definitions, Service Pack 2 etc...
This way i can burn all the updates on a cd so i will be able to install all
programs untill final updates without connecting to the internet, this might
solve the problem.

thnx in advance
