- Hi
- I have an aunt who has a confuser that has contracted the key press virus. I
- decided that since they are always getting viruses to install vshield93 in the
- autoexec file. All this file does is prompt, path and run mouse.com and win.com.
- I inserted vsheild before win.com and it found key in memory. I booted off a
- floppy and scanned with scanv93. (all files). nothing was found. I moved the
- vshield command up before mouse.com and this time nothing was found. After
- windows executed I started vhield and still it didn't find anything. It's
- as though keypress pops up at a specific point and then dispears again
- almost straight away.
- Can anyone tell me if this is expected behaviour for keypress and how I
- can find it on the hard disk?
-
- Thanks so much.
- Samantha Lane .
