Removal Tool from Symantec


You need to run this tool on EVERY COMPUTER connected via a network.

I've run that removal tool several times. Says nothing is there. The next night at about 9:20 PM NAV pops up and says you got the mumu.a again and all the .bat files it generates. I have them all quaranteened. Can't be getting reinfected from a quaranteened file can you?

Anyway, I have deleted my temporary internet files and cookies so we will see what happens.

Norton is kind of unclear about what this virus can do to your system. Apparently it deletes some files...just wondering if there is some permanent damage.


The computer in question is not on a network.

Wow.

One at a time for each PC:

- Download IntelligentUpdate files (essentially standalone LiveUpdate)
- Remove physically from network (unplug cable)
- Run tool
- Update VDFs
- Reconnect

- M4H

If it's not on a network, AND you have run the removal tool, then I don't know what to tell you. I would do some more searches here at work, but don't like to cuz of the sites it might turn up. But just go through Google, and it SHOULD give you some answers. And your NAV IS updated, right? Maybe they have a better built in removal tool for it.

boot to dos using emergency bootdisk made from another computer...
Norton plus other companies can provide these...u can create from the CD etc.

Then boot using that floppy and scan/clean from there.
