Antivirus-WebHosting

[Sorix]

Am just finished my scanning virus using Norton and i hv 18 viruses on my PC and managed to kill 8 and left 10...

my webhosting provides strong antivirus systems...and mostly virus came from emails...webhosting is the front tier which detect the viruses...if failed, it will pass through my Norman Email Antivirus and detect...and failed then goes to my Inbox..Norton scan..nothing happen..cool

but...why I hv 18 viruses???...ok Norton killed 8...but sigh i hv 10 still on my PC...worry now..SARS

Anyone can help??

isn't Norton quarantines the 10 virus that cannot be killed?
check the 10 virus name, and search for the virus removal instructions. Sometimes, you can simply delete the 10 infected files(if you know they are virus file only/not important)

Advice:
- do not open email attachment.
- update antivirus DAILY
- scan whole system for virus WEEKLY

Can't search the file? Don't Norton Antivirus will quaratine the infected files?

hftey: ya.. there are VERY few virus that attack Linux compare to Windows.

Yes Norton quaratined by....is it safe??

Basically it is safe after norton quaratine the infected files. You can choose to send to virus file to Norton lab or delete the files. Delete the files will remove the virus from your PC.

Using Norman?? tis Norman is the best antivirus software in Eurpore oso cannot kill them off??

Nowadays all the virus files are hard to kill (jamed bond 007)

is it...i tot it juz a normal antivirus software...

For brand new virus, the best antivirus also will missed it(even it is able to detect some unknown/future viruses).

We refer to "clean" instead of "kill". Kill a virus is easy, just find out and delete the infected file. However, cleaning a virus is much more complex task. It is about restore the infected file back to its original stage.

Therefore, many infected files are not cleanable and that's why Antivirus software quarantines the infected file and let you to decide whether kill(delete) them or not.

Quarantined virus is being jailed by Antivirus. No able to spread. That means you are not able to access the file, too.

haiyah talk about virus la spam la made me miss old internet days
where the viruses also less
and that time i never received any spam or there is nothing like that before. The closest to a spam was pop up or mailing list. Now ar everyday spam spam spam. Virus virus virus
cis!
I tak kenal mia orang also send kasi me all this kind of attachment
and this kind of email la say want to grow bigger boh la
this and that la
ish!
My conclusion is
Internet is much better last time
Not in a professional view but in a more simple and easy view
if in a professional view I think the net as developed significantly compared to last time. I recalled the first site created back in 1996 was so simple with javas, javascripts, html and etc. then 1997 came up with flash. Now.....whoa so many. hehehehe
but I guess the more developed something is the more it needs to sustain that kind of development and thats why spam as we know today came to be. But who knows its just from one person's view right?
heh heh.
