Hi all,

I have this one file that was infected by CIH virus for over a year sitting
in my computer under Windows XP. Although this
virus have no effect under Windows XP but it should still be at least
detected and cleaned or deleted by PC-Cillin that I have installed in this
computer. It can effect my friend's computer if I use this file to
distribute it to my friend thinking that it's free of virus. I did not find
out until my son told me when he play that file on his computer and his
Anti-Virus detected it. That's when I ran a Virus check from McAfee's
Internet Virus Scan and indeed it detected all the same 25 files in my
computer that were infected with W95/CIH.Remnants Virus. I have this
PC-Cillin on this computer & it's been updating with the new up todated DAT
file almost everyday but did not detect & clean this particular
virus.....weird.

I used PC-Cillin until recently, when it became evident that it failed to
pick up the email attachments that were clearly infected during the
recent spate we've had.

I did an on-line scan at www.pandasoftware.com and this managed to detect
an infection on my second HD that I wasn't even aware I had. I was so
impressed I bought the product.
