if you change the attributes in the resore archive that file can be
deleted... and if it is a real virus.. and you have your nortons uptodate it
will quarantine it..... sems funny to me that your Nortons ddindt show
anything.. I have Nortons 2001 and now 2002 and it has shown a few instances
of torjans in my restore files and did quarantine that file.. and then I went
in and cnahged them to unprotected and deleted them.... as I have said,many a
freebie will flase read a file as being a virus.. in fact there are many
windows files that can be detected as a virus when using one of the cheapo
anti virus programs... and there are many legit files that arent a virus that
also keys as a virus with those freebies....I now use Nortons.. but my actual
personal preference is Kasperskis antivirus pro in its hightest level.. think
its now called platinum.. but I have had some problems lately in accessing
their site .. this is due to my cruddy Medicne park Telephone Company
service... and yes that is my telephone company name... for real... tin
cans,barbed wire,string and paper cups is the norm out here in Oklahoma....
so am now with Nortons.... and I update/check every other day for updates to
insure am upto date.....One thing I have found out is that if you are using
an older version of Nortons on Win Me it isnt too good.. it hastobe the
version compatible with win me... and I believe that is Nortons 2001.... not
sure on that part... and on my Nortons my screen it tells me I have 300 days
left on my subscription service left for updates so am protected for a bit...
hopefully all will be ok until next year some time... just have to watch my
dates is all................ Chuck.. in Ok
