Okay. Having just recovered from the darn Polip virus myself (after having to completely reinstall windows thanks to Norton messing up most of my windows system files.) I can say that ANY help. advice or advisories regarding a bug are most welcome to me no matter where you get them, and for the poster who has the mac, Don't think you are 100% safe. Contrary to rumors, there are Mac viri. And now that Mac's are just overpriced PCs, and more people installing windows on them over the next year or so, you are going to see many more Mac viruses. As for the Polip, I believe it came from something I got free on the Daz site,but the bug spread so fast I have no way of telling exactly which file it came from. So this is sort of a poser related thread after all. I just wish Norton had been able to clean the little bugger up rather than just quarantine the files. The Norton site wasn't much help either, it listed the bug as low infection (0-49) systems. Yeh right... And their instructions for getting rid of it were totally useless. So be careful of any poser content you DL from any site.
