Answer» What KIND of virus is this?
everytime I open a folder, a batch file called "ghost" shows up and mimics the name of the folder that i just opened. I scan my drives using my
symantec antivirus but it only quarantines them. Then after i open a folder, again a mimic of the folder pops up. I think its slowing down my PC. And its spreading everytime I open a folder.
can anybody help me?It's very possible that is actually NORTON Ghost running in the background...check on your version of the Symantec protection package that is installed and report back....
But i agree something isn't running properly.
patio. 8-)I tried Symantic Anti-Virus before. But i found out that everytime it detects viruses they just quarantine instead of delete.
Try replace your Anti-Virus with AVG Anti-Virus free Edition http://www.download.com/AVG-Anti-Virus-Free-Edition/3000-2239_4-10596553.html?tag=lst-4-1
Maybe this can solve your problem...Also you might want to scan the file named Ghost with virustotal.com, its a Multiengine Virus Scanner this will tell you if its a virus or not.
Al969Ken.......Quote I scan my drives using my
symantec antivirus but it only quarantines them. It's quite possible that you can change the option of QUARANTINING to delete in the settings...in Norton.
BTW , is your Symantec program new or have you been using it for a while ?
Does it have Ghost included ?
Please let us know
dl65 MEANWHILE he has gone missing...Abducted by ALIENS? That seems to happen a lot around here. Abducted by the "Ghost"...
