Re: Possible Virus

Hi:
I am running Norton Anti-Virus (Most recent virus defs) and I have never
gotten a virus warning. Although if a virus warning appears that has the
Bloodhound in it, it usually refers to content that may not actually be a
virus, but that NAV finds it questionable. The comments included in NAV's virus
list regarding "Bloodhound.file.string": "If the Norton Anti Virus reports this
infection in a file, this means the Bloodhound(TM) system has analyzed and
determined the file contains some viral signature (i.e. it may contain a
virus)." Just as a side note I had a similar problem with the PC's in my
company's restaurants. 76 out of 88 PC showed up with "Bloodhound.boot.virus"
when scanned with NAV, but did not react when scanned with IBMAV or McAfee.
Hope This was of some help
