  Subject: Off Topic: VIRUS FOUND
  Hi Gang,This morning on starting up my Pc, the 
  F-Prot anti-virus program i use onstartup told me it found a virus called 
  VBS/Haptime.A    (Could not deletethe file)I 
  immediately ran a F-Prot scan with the option: Automatically 
  disinfect.It deleted 28 files as these were already destroyed by the 
  virus and thuscould not be disinfected anymore.These files were 
  all located in C:\Windows\web.Some examples: 
  C:\Windows\web\offline.htm                        
  \controlp.htt                              
  \dialup.htt                              
  \sysroot.htt The question is How do I locate and delete the virus 
  itself ?? And where does this virus come from ???My logic 
  would be 1) delete the virus       2) delete 
  the infected files       3)reinstall/putback 
  these files from the Win-cd-RomBut how can I be sure the virus is gone 
  ?I did a search for VBS/Haptime.A (before the F-prot scan) but nothing 
  wasfound.Anybody ??Rgds.Frans
