"Greetings, Alan and Listers! Just completed the housecall virus scan and it said my system was clean. But, then listed a whole string of files that for some reason or another did not or could not be scanned. Explanations stated that "could be infected" but did not go into detail. Does this make sense to those in the know? I mean, couldn't those "could be infected" files be a problem? How can I be certain system is clean if files cannot be scanned?!? Thanks for any input! Vern " I hv also completed the Housecall virus scan, it gave me a clean chit from virus on files it was able to scan, but then gave a me a host of list it could not access. They were mostly .gid and .cab files. I m not sure if my computer is free of virus. I m the one who is receiving snow white.. dwarf messages once a week.
