Two questions:

1) How recently have you updated McAfee's data files?

2) Were you running both at the same time?

There should be some things we don't name.  Just so we can sit around all day and wonder what they are.

Subject:        virus that McAfee can't detect & Norton can't clean!

I've had McAfee AV on my Pentium clone running WIN95 for some time but
yesterday I installed Norton AV. Right away it announced that I had NYB
Boot virus on two hard drives. It asked if I wanted to proceed with
cleaning y/n. I pressed yes. It repeated the question. I pressed yes again,
it asked the question again, over and over. Finally I pressed no, and it
STILL asked the question again over and over till I had to reset the
computer. When it rebooted the computer, Norton AV automatically loaded,
and asked me the question again, over and over! At this point I was
completely locked out of my own PC!

Finally I thought of using F8 to step through the start up files and delete
Norton AV from the boot sequence. Now I'm afraid I still have a boot sector
virus that McAfee can't detect, but Norton can't clean.

Any ideas?
