Hi, I seem to have acquired a nasty little virus that I can’t seem to shake. I was wondering whether anyone could help identify it from the following symptoms:
a) Not detected by Norton under XP
b) stops Norton connecting to the update site
c) Not detected by ZoneAlarm Security Suite
d) Stops connections to the Zonealarm virus update site, but not to the spyware site.
e) When booting from a Norton CD to do a scan, shows the C: drive as empty (hence no virus found) – so presumably it’s infected the (Master) boot record somehow.
f) Allows access to some internet sites (e.g. Google), but disallows any sites found from there
g) Most recently, has slowed all printing down to a crwal – i.e. takes about an hour for the printer to kick into action after a job has been spooled.
Anyone have any ideas, and if so, have you managed to successfully get rid of it?
Many thanks in advance,
AndyC
