hi,

All my *.exe`s files and *.dll files have been deleted from my games
directory.This directory is on a seperate hard drive to my operating
system and was about 70gigs worth of games.Now i will have to
re install everthing.

i have run a virus scan on all my drives but have no viruses,plus my
virus scanner is always on and up to date.any idea how this could
have happened,very anoying :mad: :( :confused: :eek:

cheers gaz

[gaz22]

norton antivirus which is kept up to date.

what idond understand is that ther were lots of directories on one
particular hard drive and only the files in my games directory was
deleted.

Cheers gaz

ok try download avg antivirus (its free) and scan let me know the results

[gaz22]

hi,

took your advise and avg found 5 viruses

downloader.agent.as (found twice)
startpage.3.d
downloader.alchemic.a (found twice)

i wonder why norton antivirus didnt find these?

i tried to find out what these viruses do but cant seem to find any info
about them on virus websites.

Cheers gaz

Nortons Antivirus is good only some of the time. I used it for a long time but was referred to avg by a friend and it kinda made me lose faith in the good ole Nortons. I think Nortons needs to re-invent itself with better protection.

i agree i was a long time with mcafee and i liked it and the same as u, got recommened avg and boom, love at first viruscan LOL
