Thanks for the help but I am a computer novice and I need some help in
understanding all this.
"Norton has a problem in repairing changes made to the OS. It might not have
corrected the Registry. Go back to...
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.netsky.p@mm.html
And examine your system to see if the alterations have been fixed based upon
the writeup. "
The report is huge, the virus changes many things and I have no idea how to
check any of them.
Once again - All help is greatly appreciated as is any more.
