Today, a message popped up saying that Norton dectected a virus. According to the details, "access" was "denied." I ran the virus scan and it removed the threat. Afterwards, I restarted the computer and ran the full system scan again and it didn't find anything. Will my computer be ok?

This was my computer at work. I was actually looking for virus information and ended up going to one of those sites that runs scans. I never told it to run the scan or clicked anything in the site. In fact, as soon as I closed the site - there was the message from Norton.

Usually if Norton can fix it, it will or it will "build a wall around it" by putting it in quarantine. If so, your computer will be fine. If the virus scan cannot find the virus, you should be good!

If Nortons found a virus, Nortons, should go into the "Book of world records". Especially with a track record of being the very worse garbage out there on the market.

Yes it's fine. Norton blocked it by denying access. Be carefull where you go. I am not saying you go there but Free porn sites are famous for bugs, some music sites have them and downloads like limewire give you access to other pc's that can be infected or are trying to infect other.

it should be okay if you did a re-scan and they didn't find anything.I had some trojan horses on my computer so my father in law put ad-aware and avast on my computer and they took them off, i usually run these programs once a week because i got most of the viruses from lime wire so if you ues any share files you should run these scans frequently.

Give up using Windows, and install Linux on your computer. Linux is immune to all viruses, malware, spyware and adware.
BE COOL - GET LINUX
