Hi Can anybody help? Is there any Virus software that can scan your system from Floppy disk or CD-Rom, so I do not have to load to a Hard disk? Thanks in advance tamvik
You can do a scan on the internet. Go to : http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/ ...and click on "check for security risks" at bottom right then follow the instructions
Babak Thanks for the reply Iwill check it out, but is it safe to trust web site to go through your sytem? tamvik
why are you worried about loading the SW onto your HD? memory or resource problem? IMO, you should have antivirus SW installed and running on your PC all the time. just curious
ZTrader I have loaded Norton antivirus 2002 and my Outlook expess started to act funny. So I figured if I can run it from a disk that will solve the problem. But maybe I do not understand the importance Antivirus. tamvik
Just a followup. I've succesfully fixed an infected system by booting norton AV from CD and removing the virus before the system/virus had a chance to boot.
Anti-virus program needs to be installed in your hard drive to check virus at all times. Floopy disk with simple program usually is used to boot up when it is infected to detect & clean.
Sorry that I can't help you with the outlook express issue. I strongly suggest that once you do get this issue resolved that you install NAV on your hard drive and have it running in the background all the time. If you have a broadband connection (i.e. always on), I would also suggest getting an internet security (i.e. Norton) program. Shame you already had NAV, NIS2002 comes with nav and you can get it cheap on the web (i.e. ~ $10 S&h through Yahoo Shopping). Just my 2 cents.
Thanks everybody for your help, I see that I need to educate myself on this Virus matter. I have been on the internet for about 3 years and was lucky so far. I just use simple Zone alarm firewall. Thanks again everyone for your help
