Hi everyone,

I was just wondering, when you get a virus alert and you are presented with only 2 options, like Stop & Exclude, naturally you'll press stop (to stop the virus). *bear with me* :-S

Therefore would I be right to think that my machine hasn't been infected by the VBS/Psyme virus after the alert disappeared when the stop button was pressed several times. I did re-boot in safe mode and did a full scan with McAfee, Ad-aware, Spybot etc. I was quite surprised that none of them picked up anything.

Have a look @ the screenshot, if you don't know what I mean. There's also a message saying it cannot be cleaned and should be replaced.

Thx in advance.

ER4S3R.
