used clamXav virus scanner on my computer and found Trojan/Doom etc. but cannot actually FIND them to remove them,,,what shall i do?

You have the My Doom virus on the Mac? Is your Mac on a network? My Doom is a PC virus, (not cross platform) and is included in the PC virus definitions, but not included in MAC definitions. If you are one a network that includes Wintel machines then you need to get rid of them. Your virus scanner should tell you their location on your Mac. Regards, Kyomii

Probably cant find it because it's not actually a legitimate Unix (MacOSX) application...OSX macs can carry pc viruses even though they can't themselves be affected by them....don't know about OS9 and under tho... %00

I am using OSX not on a network the virus scanner tells me the viruses are in either Entourage Express mail message of in the add-on HD. Did scan all the messages individually but it did not find which one. I know a friend sent a message to me and others this way spreading MyDoom virus but I thught I was 'safe' could be that her message has the virus but it is not spreading? but then when I scanned her messages it wasn't found. the other thing is that the virus scanner tells me I have got viruses, but that they cannot be moved to 'quarantine'. any idea and help is very much welcome!

I used a method suggested by the author of the program (I think on the versiontracker page...): - divide the infected folder into 2 or more new folders - scan again - divide the infected folder again until there are a manageable amount of e-mail If your folder is very large, this can take a while. One tip is instead of randomly dividing the original folder, divide based on criteria (manually): - attachments - people not in your address book - HTML containing Once you have a few candidates, you can put each in a folder by itself to verify. NOTE ABOUT QUARANTINE: if you are using the OSX e- mail client, don't use quaratine. It quaratines the entire folder so you can't delete the infected file without losing everything else. It's also time consuming to reimport the mailbox (if you have done this, import it, but choose "other" as the type).
