Any more description; how did you notice it? Have you got any specs from Norton or somesuch?Originally posted by CM
New virus called WTC survivor is around.
Just got an e-mail from a friend.
It erases all the stuff on your C drive.
The file is called WTC survivor, i wouldn't open if i were you.
For some reason i am not surprised, it probably asked one to delete some kind of file from your hard disk like system.iniOriginally posted by Ned Flanders

He has Windows installed on his D drive!
bah!! responded to Sleepy's first post and the thread ran away from me!
Re Windows, btw, I heard that many Windows corrupting viruses look for C:\Windows. If you install to C:\Win, you may avoid some of these nasties
It is not about 'changing it' after installation, you need to specify before install. My only problem - ever - with ME was after installing PoR and corrupting my file systemOriginally posted by Mr Sleep

So that was the cause of all those ME probs
A lot of zip executables look for windows/temp, so changing it can cause problems.
I have had my various Windows always installed to C:\Win, and I have had Win 95, 98 and ME It can work, but then some programs can get confused because they are looking for Windows just the same as it stops viruses, if one is not an advanced user it can get very confusingOriginally posted by Yshania

but so far so good - apart from PoR and that was a known bug to all but the ones who do not check first I honestly have done ok and so far - touch wood - no nasties either by CM
Yeah you are right Ned. So ned you sober now or always wasted like BS?? Just wondering when you make more sense
That is good, i though my reply might have confused everyone including myselfOriginally posted by Yshania
I understand!
I haven't had an infection either (that i know of ) although i have caught many, the virus situation seems to have cooled a little recently, but it wont be long before we get another Lovebug or somesuch.
