We're going to do a low level format, but >would like to know what we've contracted. If it's only one file, or is not a COM or EXE file, or is less than 2K, you most probably have a false id. DAME=Dark Avenger Mutation Engine. It's what everyone else is calling MtE. I believe only McAfee calls it DAME. If indeed you are using McAfee, they'll probably want a copy of the reported file to investigate. Jimmy Kuo cjkuo@ccmail.norton.com Norton AntiVirus Research
