[nvda] Re: safe mode and NVDA

yeah people do send viruses over skype.
what does this virus do?
you may be able to find a cleaner if you get the virus name.
if you do, search symantec for it.
right get the cleaner.
now you can't use nvda in safe mode, because you need sighted help.
you will need to use sighted help to run the cleaner.
Run the cleaner, and clean the system.
Someone has a virus on skype probably does not know it, send them a mail with 
the cleaner and tell them to run it.
Ok so you don't have sighted help.
Here is an answer, you can either bee geeky or just be plain boring.
Restore from an image, which is not infected.
if this does not work, just reformat.
I'm supprised you would get something, you need to accept things from someone, 
morral is to scan stuff when you get it.
Having something like getright loaded at startup is good as sometimes it can 
catch downloads you were not wanting.
I've never got a virus from skype but then I don't leev skype on unless I need 
it.
