I am in a rather difficult situation. I have been using Norton Antivirus 2001 for about half a year and I on a whim decided to change to another antivirus solution and started evaluating different trial versions by downloading them for eval.
Well, the first was Trend Micro’s PC-Cillin 2000 and before even downloading it I ran their “Housecall” online scanner and was shocked to learn that I had no less than two trojans and four viruses. I say “I was shocked” and indeed I was, but in all fairness to the situation – I was not the person who ran the antivirus online. It was an associate of mine who did so – one whom I trust implicitly and who works with me. He erroneously noted ONLY the virus that REMAINED after the removal process andnot the complete list – and the symtoms I am experiencing are indicitive of a virus(s) still remaining. As this is often a long, time consuming process for non-antivirus experts like myself – I have chosen instead to place a whoping 9,000 points onthis question. However, in keeping with good standards of practice – I wish to award this to only ONE TechRepublic member who immediately offers the CORRECT solution that removes this clear and present danger from our LAN. Let there be no doubt: we have at least two or one real monster that exhibits several symptoms. Here goes the symtoms I am experiencing:
