If all of you files have been successfully repaired, then you can remove the
*.VIR files. NAV creates a backup of each file it attempts to repair. If
you have any files that NAV was unable to repair, then please let us know,
and we will provide instructions on submitting samples to SARC.
Regards,

WHEN I RAN IT IT WAS LATE AT NIGHT AND I WENT TO BED. HOW CAN I
CHECK TO SEE IF ALL THE FILES WHERE REPAIRED. <<
Hello Leigh,
Unless you added a switch to allow NAVC to create a log file, there isn't a way
to check. The program would have listed files that weren't repaired at the end
of the scan. If none were listed, you can assume that it was able to repair
everything.
If you're using NAV 2.0 and have installed the latest virus definitions, then
you will have protection against this virus in the future.
Should you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
