Thanks to those who responded to my original post. I contacted the McAfee people concerning my problems and apparently I have a virus that is not caught by Scan v. 99. Here are the symptoms: Every executable or com (maybe others) that is run, increases in size the first time it is run if the virus is in memory. Every so often I get a sharing violation on drive C (my hard drive), sometimes I get overflow or divide errors. I don't think anything is being deleted, but a couple of executables won't run because they have been modified. For the most part I can still run everything. I never get errors while within programs, but after I exit a program and try to do something else I will occasionally get a sharing violation error. If anybody has any other virus program or knows of a way to get rid of this please let me know. If there was a way to compare an infected program and a non-infected one to find what is different, would I be able to take the difference, plug it into Scan and delete that part from my executables? As before, please respond by e-mail. - -- Send e-mail to: pmm34393@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu
