Just found out that I have the virus Bloodhound.Exploit.6 on my computer and am unclear on how to approach this issue or remove it. I am using Norton AV and Firewall and looked up the issue on symantec, but am unclear about what to do. I have all current updates for Norton and windows update.

The site address for info on Bloodhound.Exploit.6 is: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/bloodhound.exploit.6.html

It also gives an address at the bottom on "removal instructions" at this site: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms04-013.mspx

The above site gives updates for outlook express (I guess this is the issue with Bloodhound.Exploit.6)? I am using windows xp with sp2 along with outlook express 6.0, but there are no updates for this. The only update that there is, is for outlook express 5.5 with sp2?

I tried the download listed as: outlook express 6, but after the download it tells me that I must be using that version in order for it to install. So... this version must not be for sp2.

Anyone know what I can do about this issue?

Thanks in advance, elknarps

The microsoft patch and the cleaning of browser cache didn't help in stopping the virus warning, in my case.

But i noticed that the warning happens only when i open the mozilla firefox browser. It doesn't pop up with IE. NAV couldn't find it with xp in normal mode. I ran NAV in safemode and it detected the exploit.6 and java.bytever.b virus. It failed to delete the exploit.6 though.

I uninstalled the firefox (after downloading the new version of course) making sure that no mozilla files remained in the Document and Settings folder. Then I reinstalled the new version of Firefox.

It's gone!!!!
