Hi All, Picked up a Virus from somewhere yesterday! It had no name and Norton's AntiVirus did not catch it, nor had they heard of it. A neighbor just told me that this was the second time he had heard of exactly the same thing happening. His friend said that that hard drive could not be saved and they had to buy a new one. I had downloaded new anitvirus programs a day before so was up to date- supposedly. The Virus made my computer screen go blue and said there was an error. The message was "Disk Write Error. Unable to write to disk in Drive C. Data or files may be lost. Press any key to continue." Hitting the key would get away from the blue screen, but it would come back in a minute or two. I could not save anything to the hard drive. It was "Locked" the same as you can do with a diskette, but this would not allow "Unlocking." I could download information to save it however! It would not let me format the hard drive either. I had to format my hard drive from the original disk and write 0's over all the informatin to make sure the virus was deleted. There was no warning of this virus, and no anti-virus warning message. Norton had not heard of it. Where I picked it up is a mystery. It took about 12 hours of frustration to undoo this. It is up and running again. Hackers are delighted by all this, why I will never know! Solution - I don't really know. Just don't open e-mail from people you don't know. Hard to do, I know. Get a good anti-virus program and keep it updated! Norton's said update at LEAST twice a month. Bill PS; A Trojan Horse Virus is a virus sent attached to a seemingly innocent message. When opened up it puts the Virus in your computer. Some Viruses change names every time you open a file, and attach to it. They also attach themselves to sent e-mail and spread from there.
