Bob F Posted May 9, 2004 Report Share Posted May 9, 2004 Oooooh 'eck. That shouldn't happen. When you say "then nothing", does the Search window appear? Or does the computer just hang?? Have you tried restarting the computer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick Martin Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Hi Dave Sorry to hear about the virus, how did you get it? I believe you can remove that virus without refromating your HD. If anyone else gets it click here I hope you didnt loose any important information, its a bas@@rd when you have to reformat your HD, takes ages to do and then you have to re-input or restore all year info. Never mind have a beer and think about your next fishing trip Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul D Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Dave, Get yourself a virus scanner. That is the only way to prevent getting these. Currently I am receiving 10 + infected e-mails per day on the webmaster account. re: Different operating system, if it is either Windows 95/98, Windows 2000, Windows NT, Windows XP ( ie. Any microsoft one ! ) then you will be open to infection from all numbers of viruses. It's not Microsoft's fault, just that as it is the most common then viruses are designed to attack them. If it is Linux then there is less chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
