What is the world coming to, if this kind of *beep* is detected as a virus????? OMG... this is very very very very dodgy indeed... What's next, flashing a bright red screen with MOST DANGEROUS VIRUS FOUND if someone types "Bull Shit" ????....

On the other hand, maybe if you scanned "executables" (exe, com, bat, vbs, pif, scr) instead of "All Files", you won't have this *beep*... :dodgy: Learn to setup your programs right :dodgy:

Yes it can!!! The line is read in memory, so even if the batch is deleted, the line will be executed. You will only get an error like "batch not found" after the line is executed, cause it tries to look for a next line. But I think that's the least of your problems then....

No, you might just have lower security settings, or different options for what to do when it finds them set.  Your version might not scan internet pages.

At least you know that norton won't spontaneously delete your IRC logs when you close mIRC because somebody said the magic word :dodgy:  I only just figured how to fix this.

Actually I just installed it a week ago and didn't change any of the default settings :-/

Nothing to do with firewalls either... :P

I mean, it's a millionaire company, can't they implement a method to distinguish "format c:" when it's in a text or html file from when it's inside a .bat??? :banana:
