*Can* suggest you have the Blaster worm, not categorically prove it.

Now, I've spoken to end-users who think "up-to-date" means "within the past couple months", so I probably shouldn't be operating on assumption here, but I took Pirate's statement to mean that he ran the lastest virus defs and it came up clean. As far as I know the big scanners cannot clean it, only quarantine it, but they're still gonna report it.

So the big question here is, what exactly does Pirate mean when he says "up-to-date" in the context of his virus protection? And for good measure, which application is he using? [/QUOTE

What I mean is my virus scanning program Norton AntiVirus 2003 updated virus defs every time i access the internet. I have a seperate virus searcher that is tuned to the blaster worm and will exterminate any possible traces of it.
