Well pc cillin picked it up doin it's sunday noon scan with three files that were quarentined.I deleted the files and followed the advice on their webpage about uninstalling it's components through the regestry,only two folders so no big deal.I have a iinksys router with a four port switch and have the shareware version of zone alarm.
What i am wondering is how i got it and why didn't norton pick it up when it happend?Doesn't the router offer some protection from viruses?I dont think that the trojan ever actually connected to the address that it was trying to send to,but i cannot be sure as it uses rundll.32 to get out and it being a valid app it might have permission to access the net through zone alarm.I also deleted file and print sharing as per the website but am i safe now?What were they trying to get from my comp?Should i be worried that i have used a credit card online recently?
I also uninstalled norton as it would no longer run after the virus was detected by pc cillin.Is there anmything else i should do?
any thoughts would be appreciated.
