two weeks ago I made a very elementary mistake and opened an email that contained what I later found was the Beagle Virus. This virus, as you know, disables anti-virus updators..........one of the many problems associated with beagle.
I spent hours fixing it, and with a medley of symantec, a program called FxBeagle that gets rid of the virus (from Norton's website I believe, or maybe symantec), and mcafee's Stinger, which is a "standalone anti-virus scanner for certain viruses" including beagle, got rid of the virus. I even ran Panda's online scan to make sure that the virus was gone. None of the programs showed the virus.
I uninstalled, redownloaded, and installed Symantec and updated my virus defs. now one week later, the definitions updater loads, however instead of counting down for the download of defs, it shows the source file increasing, and then says that it could not load the defs. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and yet the same problem occurs, and strangely enough the reinstalled symantec has logs from before the uninstallation.
I want to know if there are any viruses or trojans on my system. I can probably deal with spyware and adware (although help there would be appreciated as well), but the virus thing is killing me. Hope you can help.
