Virus Information

posted 12.22.03
Just because you have virus protection software installed on your computer, does not mean that you are protected.  As new viruses become known, software makers must update their code to guard against this virus and also provide a means to rid the malicious programs from your computer.  Makers of virus-protection software do this by periodically issuing virus-definition updates.

These updates are readily available, but you must go out and get them.  If you open your virus-protection software, you will find a date referencing the latest update to your virus definitions.  If your definitions are older than about 5 days, you should update immediately.  Most virus-protection software has an update link or update button where you can automatically update a new reference file.  In some cases, you may have to pay for the updated definitions.  Please see the information below for links to manufacturers instructions.

McAfee Security

AVG - Grisoft

I Can't Seem to Get Rid of This Virus

posted 12.08.05
Many viruses are increasingly more sophisticated and thus more difficult to remove. It is often beneficial to do a virus scan while in Safe Mode, a special diagnostic mode of Windows used for troubleshooting.  To start your computer in safe mode, follow these instructions.

Also, many manufacturers make specialized removal tools for specific viruses. Record the name of the virus that is infecting your machine and visit google and type, for example, W32.Pexmor@mm removal tool.  Chances are good that there is a removal tool and/or instructions for removing. You can also try the removal tools section at Symantec.
