I received two w32 magistr viri yesterday morning. They were caught and "neutralized" by Norton anti-virus sw. I did not delete the emails as I thought they were safe ( and they may have been so). Later in the day I went out and left the computer running but NOT on the net. When I tried to get back on the net IE 5.5 did not complete the load of my ISP home(AT&T). I checked with norton sys doctor and noted that cpu utilization was at 100 percent. I was able to kill off IE 5 and do mail and get ebay up but still could not get to AT&T home site.
I went after the system with Norton anti virus and finally got a note that my boot record had been changed so I took their recommended route and replaced it.
Still no sign of a virus.worm etc.. Am I still infected? Could one of the viri cause cpu usage to max out?
Any thoughts??
