    controler - The only thing I still don't understand is why Norton AV 2002 never alerted you to the worm when you first received it in your email.

    Did I miss that part? Has a further update of Norton rectified that particular gaping hole? Pete

    The virus Difenitions I had were the liveupdate and not the Beta one which caught the latest srtrain. I also sent another file to them today for review.
    I am now working with a company after using their virus sniffing software. They would give me a full working version so I was forced to use their trial. And you know How I hate trialware LOL
    Their software is dated Oct and so the definitions are old too. after a full scan the program said my MSTEE.SYS was infected. Umm NOD32, Norton 2002 say gee I don't see that.
    So I wrote back telling them I was happy to not have the full version or I would no be shot a needed system file, since their software auto deletes it, which is never good. Their engineers wrote back saying I need to send a sample LOL and that it is prolly a case hwere another antivirus program tried to fix it in the past and corrupted it.
    Of course I had to write back telling them I NEVER have my software to AOTO fix or delete!! I always ask just so I don't run into the problem of false possatives taking my files and deleting them.
    I will let you know their results later

    Over?
