    Unknown Virus
    My notebook has strarted to slow down since a few months ago.
    I have Norton Antivirus which is updated weekly.
    But I think my notebook is infected with virus cause it shuts down and restarts without any message and it occurs rarely.
    When it shuts down I could see English sentences on the blue background all over the screen.
    Please tell me what the heck is this virus and how to get rid of it. >:(

    Hi Pabel,

    You mention that Norton is updated weekly, is it running a virus scan weekly also? As of 7-21-04 you should be protected from 67867 viruses.

    Go to: http://sarc.com/ Scroll down and click on,"Free Online Virus and Security Check" Write down exactly anything it finds, then return to: http://sarc.com/ and do a search for what was found. Symantec usually has a removal tool and/or directions for manually removing.

    Hope this helps!
