Archived from groups: alt>comp>anti-virus, others (more info?)

Hi All......

Thanks to the info that Zvi posted about blocks in Mailwasher, etc., I
recognized that one of the people on a genealogy List possibly has the
MyDoom virus......it was rather weird to say the least because it was
not active and was not an attachment. Attachments are not allowed on
genealogy Lists.

And Zvi and Nick.....I will zip up the original post and send it to you.
It is not active. The code was in the body of the email.

Anyway.....I wrote this person from Yahoo and informed him he 'might'
have the virus and he just now answered and said he does.

He is using McAfee and he can't seem to get rid of it. Are any other
tools better? He doesn't know enough to fix Registry items, so just
wondered what would be the best and easiest. And no, I don't know his
O/S.

Odd that the source code and part of his header info was in the email,
but I suppose Rootweb cleaned up the viral part. And NO.....to you
virus collectors.....you are not getting it. (G)

Thanks, people.......I took a look at Symantec, McAfee and Kaspersky and
to my untrained eye, think that perhaps KAV might be the best bet for
him. Advice???
