Re: Virus? Trojan?

Well, I quit using Norton in 1995, long story as to why.

But in an E-mail program if scripting is enabled, javascript can run and onmouseover used to call functions to run

You might check that your E-mail program Options and Security/options in your E-mail program TOOLS as well as Control Panel Internet Options Security AND Advanced settings tabs are set for good security. Additionally, be sure to update any Adobe applications and Java.

I don't have Outlook on this computer, but I recall a setting in Options in it to restrict it to safer "internet restricted zones"

Some E-mail programs are more secure than others, but Norton nor any other antivirus program will catch "that which is not a virus"

Example, a batch file, like autoexec.bat or config.sys are basically TEXT/notepad type files saved with an extension of .bat or .sys which list a "batch" of commands or things to do on computer startup in older versions of Windows. They are essentially text files, not viruses. More I won't say except in a PM, probably said too much already, but I doubt there are any blackhat hacker wannabe kids on this site.

( I beat the "unbeatable AT&T/SouthWestern Bell Tic-Tac-Toe computer" at 1968 HemisFair in San Antonio, and handled security for MSN's chat servers as a second job to being a legal Asst. and owning 1337Computers, where I designed things)

Re: Virus? Trojan?

I'm not much into coding/scripting/programming nowdays, but I believe it is possible,
to run or execute a ctrl+P command to print through javascript onmouseover possibly

onMouseOver = "do_this();"

Return to “Virus? Trojan?”
