Norton SE keeps finding the above virus under c:\windows\main.exe. I

virus

Hi Mark,

Thanks for writing.

I am sorry to hear you are experiencing problems.

Make sure Explorer is set to show all files. Use the view menu and
select options. Choose the view tab to and make sure Show all files
is selected. MAIN.EXE is not a Windows 95 standard file. If this is
a Trojan (not a virus) you will need to delete this file.

Please let me know what you find.
