If you were Registered and logged in, you could reply and use other advanced thread options
I meant how can you tell which defs are on your comp, but i suppose if live
update is running and installing stuff then its getting the latest so that
was a stupid question
also I want to apologize, wehn i went to scan and delete it with norton i
couldnt find the delete option, and i clicked more options and then i
remembered that on my first scanning with this norton it found it and i
couldnt figure out where to delete it then either so i ignroed it... so i DID
cause that T_T sorry, and its been there for a few months now... >.> sorry
again
OK, i've done a few more things on my own since last time...
I did a chkdsk in the command prompt and since it was read only it could
only do 2 outta 3 or somehting, but on the seccond step it found and deleted
4 things
then i went and went for the full blown check disk under local disk... took
forever, and it didnt tell if it found or didnt find anything... i barely got
to glimpse at my disk space before it rebooted... so that didnt help much in
my opinion
now i'm on the symantec website and checking for viruses from there... as
soon as i clicked the instal active x stuff, an installing thing came up, i
clicked run, then the windows intaller popped up, and failed, its the same
one that appears every time the computer turns on... which is strange it says
"Norton AntiVirus 2005 does not support the Repair feature, please uninstall
and reinstall" >.<
however right this moment its scanning.... so thats ALSO strange
I'm going to do a security check too on it...
any other things that come on the computer or with symantec that i can use?
I'll check out those other links soon and try contacting norton, I didnt
have time yet (um... i also posted further up in this thread about the dr
watson thing failing... what is that? i came across it for a different
problem about a year ago...)
