On running NAV I have been informed I have a file name Dc1.exe and the
threat is Adware.Ncase. I am advised by NAV to go through the registry and remove the files it names, when I get to the point of removing the files, they are not there. I cannot contact Synantic via e mail to find out what I do. Any sugestions please. |

D/L Lavasoft's Ad-aware 6.0 from http://www.lavasoftusa.com/ You will need to click on the word Ad-aware in the left hand box on the screen to get to the FREE version. Also D/L Spybot Search and Destroy 1.2 from http://www.safer-networking.org/ This is also a free program (Donation ware). You will need to run the update feature in each program after you install them. Why both? One of them may catch spyware/maleware that the other one doesn't find. Recently a friend found 116 spyware problems with Ad-aware that Spybot S&D missed. I've seen the opposite situation too. Norton is an Antivirus program doesn't offer much in the way of spyware/maleware/trojan/worm protection. I still run NAV 2002 on my main PC that I use for E-mail because it does a pretty good job of scanning incoming E-mail before it gets D/L from the server. This has saved me a lot of time during massive E-mail attacks in the past. I'm currently running F-Prot for Windows on most of my other machines. It has a good reputation and a very small footprint plus it uses very few system resources. You can get almost daily updates and it only costs $29 USD for a license which allows you to run it on all of your PCs for non-commercial use. There is also a free DOS version of F-Prot that I recommend to people as a backup for other AV programs. -- Chas. verktyg@aol.spamski.com (Drop spamski to E-mail me) |
