....My question is at the end of this message.
..I've run four different free online virus scans
...... virus found: Win32.Nimda.A
---------------------------------------------
The first one gave me the option of 'auto clean'
..I ran it, then did it a second time....it showed the same files again
...after the third scan page finished, this scan page showed clean on it's third pass.
-----------------------------
the second one had a 'cure files' button ...I cliked it and ran a second scan there too......no files showed.
---------------------------------------------------------
now after those scans were done and the 'cure files' button was used I scanned with a third online scan service.......it shows 18 infected files--{the other two just showed 9}
that third scan also says those 18 files are....'disinfected'
-------------------------------------
Fourth scan found those infected files too and had 'auto clean' checked
ran that a second time and it was clean
------------------------------------------------------------
Then I searched computer and found freeware version of McAfee anti virus---{long ago disabled}--and reinstalled THAT and ran it's scan..............came back, all clear
Those infected files that were..."cleaned" by the free online scans..........they won't be able to harm my computer any more....is that correct???
