Hello Gilles, you write: >I just find out that Filler virus has invaded my computer system. The >Scan Test (SCAN 8.9V97 - McAfee) sometime detect it and other time it >can't. Is there any other thing I can do to get rid of this damned >virus... While there is an actual Filler virus from Europe (?), we have not had any actual reports of the virus, other than the initial disk that was send to us. However, it is fairly common for the Filler virus to be reported in memory due to a conflict between VIRUSCAN (SCAN) and other anti-viral programs if they use the same "search string" to detect the virus but the other anti-viral program does not hide the search string in memory by ciphering or otherwise encrypting it. I would recommend that you check your PC to see if any other anti-viral programs are running and if so, disable them and reboot your system. If the virus is no longer reported by SCAN then it is a false alarm.
