RE: An exe (virus) called !Demo gets created

Start Win98 in Safe mode and then run NAV.

If that doesn't detect anything then both of these sites have online Antivirus scanners than you can scan your machine with. http://housecall.trendmicro.com/
http://www.mcafee.com/

Once you know what the virus is you should be able to get removal instructions from any AV vendor.

Subject: An exe (virus) called !Demo gets created

Hi,

I am using Windows 98. Some virus is disturbing me from a while now.

I dont know which virus is that. When ever I copy some file (doc, txt, pdf
...gif)
from my hard disk to floppy an exe called !Demo gets created in floppy.

I tried to scan installing NAV 2001/02/corporate edition.

Do you need help?

There virus scanners are not able to detect the virus if I install in my system.

When I take the floppy and try to open in some one else's computer, NAV detects the file as virus.

I dont know what to do now. Can some one please suggest me what to do?
