I was reading archives posts at egroups.com, and read a post that I
later found out had a virus in it. Well, that was yesterday, and just a
few minutes ago, my computer started screwing up. When I click on an
application, I get a pop up box that has a smily face like this :) in
it with error on it, and an ok button. I choose ok, and it says this
program has performed an illegal operation or something like that. I
had Macafee Virus Shield and it did'nt see anything. I downloaded and
installed Macafee Virus Scan and it installed and I chose to run it and
it found nothing....but something is wrong. Anyone seen this happen
before? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. If you reply
to this, please email me a copy of your response to
cb3...@hubserv.com, because I don't know if i'll be able to get back
here to check the messages. Thanks alot!

Bobby

Bobby,


It looks like you have Navidad-b if your virus defenitions and engine are
uptodate McAfee should see it fine.

here is McAfee's description (not as detailed)

It probably was an attachment called emmanuel.exe
