Paul, you will need to visit your Anti-Virus program vendor's web site
and look up the cleaning instructions from there.

Also, if you are distributing patches automatically, you need to check
that the patches are being applied. Norton Corporate Edition or
whatever it is called these days has a console from which you can
check the settings on all machines. When I was looking after such an
installation (NAV CE 7.5) I found that I had to check regularly,
because not all machines pulled down the virus definitions as
expected.

Cheers,

Cliff
