some points to ponder...
1) a virus is a program, stored on erasable magnetic media - NOT
motherboards...
2) if no anti-virus product detects a virus then there is no reason to
suspect a virus (with the exception of systematic increases in the size
of executable files)...
3) due to stealth viruses it is necessary to perform a verified clean
boot from a known clean floppy (verified clean boot is a clean boot
where the cmos is checked to ensure that the computer knows a: drive
exists and that it is the first drive in the boot priority queue)...
4) avp, and dsav are also top av products and will certainly detect more
than norton when used properly...
... i thought it was the metal bars that separated us from the animals...**
