Subject: [VIRUS] Help! Sudden surprise download!
Date: Mon, 01 Oct 2001 03:47:05 -0400


Hi!

I am about to panic! While looking for a web site I suddenly got a 37K
download. If I had blinked I would have missed it. I was able to isolate
it, I think. I ran a search for all files created within the past day,
then sorted by time. The only file that I can't explain went to C:\WINDOWS
and was named nsreg.dat. I looked at it in notepad and it seems to have
something to do with netscape. But the thing is full of gibberish also.

I did scan it with Norton, and it passes muster, but I still do not like
it. There is a line in the file about "talkback". I am probably in a
dither over nothing, but would one of you experts be willing to take a look
at it and give me advice. Should I trash it or should I put it
back. Where do I put it, if so?

Thank you, way ahead of time, for all the help.

Patrice
