i ran a scan of pc today at work (all drives) & on the j drive symantec
antivirus notification said i had VBS.LoveLetter.C(1) virus 6 times.
The long distance pc "support" said to unplug from the system which i
did. desktop support will try to help me tomorrow on work pc. now i
use 2 thumb drives on both my home & work pc---i'm scared to insert the
thumb drives into my home pc in case there are infected files on them.
is it safe to run a norton antivirus scan on each thumb drive (e or f
drives) from my home pc w/out infecting it?

i thought VBS.LoveLetter.C(1) was an old virus from back around 2000
that current antivirus programs caught? i input some personal bank
account information earlier in the morning on my office pc---is
VBS.LoveLetter.C(1) virus able to retrieve that kind of information?
thanks

You left out that "J:" was removable media.

When I say "fully qualified name and path the files found to be infected" it
means the
full path (folders and subfolders) and the name of the file(s) deemed infected.

Example:
j:\my documents\oct 04\word file.doc

The above is a "fully qualified name and path".

David, the ocomputer guy told me today not to worry about what is on
the j drive as those are office system files & the only thing i need to
be worried about is viruses on my computer which is on the c drive &
the portable thumb drive i use between home & office computer---is this
correct?
