I disagree. Most of the people posting questions here haven't yet used
antivirus software with the latest updates, and they are told so. This is a
Usenet newsgroup, so it is organized like any other bulletin board, with an
original poster posting a question and the answers generally grouped under
that question. There are plenty of very obvious places to look for virus
information, such as the manufacturers of any antivirus product such as
www.sarc.com
You can also try http://securityadmin.info/faq.htm#virus However, the
answer to "how can I remove virus xyz" is always going to be, "use an
antivirus program," because that's the way it works.
Microsoft has a free number to call for help with virus problems, listed at
the URL above. I don't know what more you could possibly hope for in the
way of support!
If you are using an antivirus program already and are having problems with
it or you suspect it is not removing viruses, you may be better off going to
the web site for the manufacturer of that antivirus. You wouldn't call
Chrysler and ask them to fix your Toyota.
