here ya go AVG - there's a free edition thats got a function that Norton don't have... http://www.grisoft.com/ Norton is NOT able to clean a virus once it's gotten into the system backup folders in 2000 / XP. AVG handles it better.. (this btw is experience talking ;)) Kai

Actually I got out my copy of The complete Reference of Windows XP. I found that XP allows me to set the clock back so to speak. I went back a month ago and used that date to restore my files. Then I ran a virus check and updated the virus list and ran another check. No virus found. This has to be one the best things that I have discovered about WinXP. I did check out the sites that you guys posted. But as I was checking them out I ran across the Restore feature of XP and decided to try it first and it seems to have worked. Note: Just because you use virus software, I use Norton's myself and you keep the list updated don't assume that the program will check them all. The two that I had actually should have been stopped as both were old, going back to 99. Yet somehow they slipped pasted and infected my computer. Be on your toes guys.... And thanks again for all your help.

Butch, Ah yes that XP time travel Thing! Did that once - swore that I'd make backups more often but as yet . . . thanks for the info, - TJ

Yes that time thing in XP has saved my life more than once. But lots of people don't know that this great feature was introduced with WinME. So the ME owners out there have the same oportunity to turn back time.

You should run a Firewall beside NAV to keep those nasty critters out of your PC. ZoneAlarm is free and does a perfect job.

Thank you for that post about AVG!!! I had a trojan backdoor that that norton could not get rid of (or even find)...but this thing found it seconds after starting it up :) I knew the virus was there because it would open up an MIRC program every startup....but I did not have MIRC installed on this machine. But now...woohoo...it is finally gone :))))) Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you
