My computer here at work has told me repeatedly that I have W32.Mydoom.A in a particular file. I have downloaded three antiviral/antispyware software that purportedly removes that from one's computer, but none of them can detect this virus. In the meantime, I keep getting notifications from our Norton AntiVirus. I think I've gotten twelve or fourteen notifications since 8:30 this morning.

I've spent two hours trying to disinfect my computer, and all I've done is lost time.

Edit: Make that 144 notifications. And counting.

Make that 144 notifications. And counting.

That's gross.

Have you tried this?

[novapsyche.livejournal.com]

Actually, yes, I have. It didn't find anything. *frowns* I don't understand how Norton can sense something that other programs can't.

Oh, and I found that the extraordinary number of notifications was for a different virus, for W32.sober.l or whatever its actual name is. It was, well, quite stressful for a while. But then I had to reboot, and when I did it went into quarantine. So that's good, at least.

hey, give me a call at work or on my cell this afternoon and we can decide when and where to meet (note that if we're going out you don't *have* to come to the house first, though we can start that way if you want...

sorry I missed you... haven't figured out how to recognize my work phone from another cube.... meet at my house at 6:30 is fine...
