Hi

I can clearly see the Symantec removal instructions for a boot.malmo virus
on a HDD on their web site - but I am less clear on how to get the bloody
thing off of my USB Mem Stick.

Is there a quick and easy way? I would really appreciate some help here.

Many thanks

Nick

Ignore the message, it's a false alarm. Symantec AV is prone to false alarm on
this one (Malo, aka Junkie). Besides, there is no way this extinct virus can
install itself on a flash stick.
