rick yes, it appears that he was way off base. especially the part about the virus being designed to attack norton. reading further through a symantec page on the virus, one finds: ****************************** "The virus does not infect files that begin with the following characters in their names: aler amon avp avp3 avpm f-pr navw scan smss ddhe dpla mpla These are names of anti-virus programs, as well as a few other applications." symantec.com ****************************************** i'm not personally experienced with mcafee, but i believe they are nearly comparable to norton. the key, imo, is not only staying current with definitions, but with scans. :) mark
