I have been using Trend Micro's PCCillin for several years. I like it
because it seems less intrusive than other virus scanners. I received
notification from Trend that a new version had been released. Since I'm
getting 2 or 3 viruses a day I thought I'd go ahead and update. Did
so. After some problems with configuring it, it seems to be OK, though slow.
But, immediately after installing it I found that something had changed my
Eudora email configuration. The pop3 server name had been changed to
"local host". Additionally, the login name had been changed. Changes were
made to all 3 mail servers I use. All is well after correcting the
configuration.
Question is, did the Trend program do this? I'll email Trend and ask them,
of course. Or, did a virus slip by and do this trick? It would be
interesting to hear any thoughts on this.
On another subject I received what appears to be a virus spoof from the
email address of a friend. It advised deleting JBDGMGR.EXE as it was a
virus that she had accidentally sent to me and everyone else in her address
book. As far as I can determine this is a valid Windows file, and it does
not scan as a virus. Any thoughts?
Thanks for your attention,
Robert Humble
