    Norton actually updated their dat file to try and get rid of the mydoom or mimail.x virus. But housecall by trendmicro actually worked better at deleting the virus, because our main server recieved that virus and norton did nothing until we updated the dat file, but then it would only warn us. Then I did my usual housecall internet check and house call tried to delete the worm but it couldn't but it gave the the directory where all the worms where located, so all I did was go to safemode and delete those worms. If I had started in safe mode with networking then housecall could have deleted the file, while norton would have just quaranteed the file.

    Warez is not allowed on the site. You are getting the program for free, therefore it's illegal.

    I use Freedom Anti-virus? The reason? It came free with my ISP. It's pretty good though. No problems so far.
