fortunately, not yet...I keep Norton fully up to date daily, never open attachments that have *.Zip or *.exe only *.doc, *.jpg, *.bmp, or *.xlp attachments, and then ONLY if Norton says No Virus contained. There are so many malicious people out there, hackers trying to make a name for themselves (what kind of name can that possibly be?), and almost all are aimined at MS operating systems. Only lately have we seen a few aimed at Mac, but I suspect the list will grow. Always be very careful what you open, always have all attachments open ONLY when prompted! Yahoo, itself, has marvelous virus filters, so I use Yahoo email as my private and business accounts. Good luck and I hope you never encounter these ugly things.

sure that could be a rootkit, seek rootkit remover on Yahoo i exploit greatis yet have extensively utilized sophos and unhackme. you are able to flow to the directories shown and purely delete the archives (you are able to could desire to flow to risk-free mode or command console) flow to activity supervisor and end skill of the archives then flow to MSconfig >startup tab and uncheck the technique. a number of those issues initiate from an imprecise registry key, so which you would be able to get carry of "rootkit revealer" from Microsoft or sysinternals and run it, it is going to be sure rootkit despite the fact that it does supply fake positives for some registry keys. Its disgraceful that microsoft can peddle such insecure rubbish as homestead windows, each version seems to have greater protection holes than the final, extremely its not previous them to produce utility or a dongle to keep away from unknown classes working which won't be able to honestly be bumped off..

Yup, but my 'puter is smarter than the average bear and puts the whip to those scurvy, mangy trojans and punches holes in the ends...oh wait....I'm thinking of a DIFFERENT 'TROJAN'...anyway, my puter puts the boot to those trojans before they can get hooked in.

Yeah, and it's heck cleaning up the road apples it left behind.
What they don't realize is that she who wasn't named "Grace" for a good reason is capable of creating plenty of mayhem on her own!

Yes, but AVG caught it and put it in the corral where I had to euthanize the poor creature.
