W32.Licum worm over and over
Hi:
Running NAV 2005 with updated antiviral definitions. Norton successfully quarantines W32.Licum on an almost daily basis. SP1 is up-to-date. I run a few other programs to protect my system (Ad-Aware, Spyware Blaster, Spybot S & D, etc.) and everything else is clean. Symantec refers me to Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-026. When I try to download the patch, I get an error message telling me that Win Me does not require this patch! I do not have a firewall: can someone recommend a freeware firewall utility that will seamlessly work with NAV 2005? Lastly, is there another reason(s) W32.Licum keeps appearing on my system? Quarantine folders are deleted, as are temp folders with a Cleanup! dump before rebooting. I tried expanding my protection by upgrading to Symantec's Internet Security 2005, but I could not get a clean installation of LiveUpdate or some shared files and had to revert back to NAV 2005. Thanks. Adam |

Since you mention SP!, the chances are that you're in the wrong newsgroups -
Windows Millennium Edition has no Service Packs! (or do you mean Internet Explorer 6 SP1??) Norton (any year) is guaranteed to cause more problems than most viruses - I suggest that you consign it to its deserved residence in the recycle bin, and get something that works WITH ME (assuming that's what you actually have) rather than against it!! Where exactly does that POS called NAV claim there is an active virus file - the full path, please? -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2005, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "adam" wrote in message ...

Thanks, Dave. I am running IE SP1 and certainly do have Win Me. I mentioned
SP1 due to its contribution to a more secure system. I will post my query in the Security newsgroup. Adam "David H.
