Any ideas on what I can do to figure this out?

Your qoute is above my pay scale. What 'symptoms' are you experiencing?

}---:?

F-Prot Realtime Protector is showing me all the files that are getting infected. NAV found nothing, housecall found nothing and thankfully f-prot is finding them and I'm deleting the files. Glad I don't just trust one anti-virus. I think I know the guy that gave me this virus and what I need to know is how can I use the header info to prove it?

Too bad F-Prot doesn't scan incoming mails and its attachments. :(
Otherwise you wouldn't have gotten this virus in the first place.

Good luck on recovering the files, KC.

All the Best,

~*McoreD*~ - Your right, but I'm just thankful the realtime scanner seen them so I was aware to take action. It infected several .exe files but everything seems fine now. I sent a copy of the email header to my ISP which is the same ISP where the email came from. I even sent the name of the guy I think it was, which in this area would have the same IPS as me. The guy I'm speaking of is the local school districts network ADMIN. I posted one of his emails to me on the PTO website for all the parents to see. He later sent me an email saying if I didn't take it down, he would file legal action. :lol:

I took it down, but if I could only prove that he sent this virus to me it would be sweet justice. :D

Yea I got this crap too. Still cant find any info on the virus though.

I recently found that my ISP allows two reports of passing a virus from the same account before they shut you down. They said is safe to assume that the virus was sent by mistake. Oh well, I cleaned my system without a reformat so everything ok now. :)
