| I think we have a virus on the computer but I can't seem
| to identify which one it might be from the various pages I
| have looked at like Symantec.
| Essentially, some of our software has become inoperable
| and of the ones that work, the display is 'blacked out',
| so for example you can't see the file menu, the display
| bar at the bottom of the screen is obscured, when you type
| in Word, the letters are blacked out. When you move the
| mouse, it leaves black lines behind it.
| Over the last weekend, I downloaded an update of Spybot
| and AdAware and also an update for Real1 Player and
| software to run AVI video, which didn't work so I removed
| it. If it helps, none of the software was able to remove
| files from NewDotNet which I understand came with Real1
| Player. I tried to do this through Control Panel/AddRemove
| software, too.
| So, do we have a virus and which one? Or is there is a
| another problem?
|
| Thanks very much,
