B Bruce Chambers May 7, 2004 #3 Greetings -- The type of behavior you describe is typical behavior of more than one virus/worm, the three below being the most common: W32.Klez http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/[email protected] W32.Yaha http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/[email protected] W32.Spybot.Worm http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.spybot.worm.html Because many of the newer viruses and worms, such as the Spybot mentioned above, can disable antivirus applications whose definitions aren't kept up-to-date, try using one or more of the free on-line scanners to double-check your system.
