after clicking the trouble shooter tab for my modem, Norton i.s. 2002 found a malicious script named Help.ctr.exe.
needless to say i done a full system scan and it found nothing,
has anyone else had this and what is it ?
 
It could be. Both Norton and McAfee do heuristics scanning to find code that could be bad but isn't listed as a virus.
 
thanx for the reply Reg,
any info is welcome, having all sorts of trouble with it.
 
Go here and run a full scan of ur system. There are others out there to and they should be more up to date then Norton or McAfee for some reason

another online virus scan
 
Yeah, but in his case, when Norton detected the file, it probably deleted it.
 
True but it would never hurt on the outside chance that Norton didn't delete and it could also give a little more info but he was looking for ideas so I give him mine. And the version Norton I've got I've got config to clean a virus from the file if that fails quarantine the file then I can do with it as I please but on the other hand u r most likely right
 
Well that is what I get for typing the url as opposed to coping and pasting. Thanks jawshoouh and I did fix it in mine and it works now. I might post a different one since u got that covered jawshoouh. Also need to relearn how to spell but I think the spelling error I saw
 
Its probably not a virus... norton will sometimes block scripts when they try and interact with your computer in a cirtian way
 
thanx everyone for the info , much appreciated. cheers

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
