    Yes,this is probably in the wrong forum, but anyway...
    when I logged onto mIRC today, norton immediatly came up with an alert that my win.exe was infected with the Backdoor.Sdbot virus, and it could not be repaired. Wonderful. I looked at http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/backdoor.sdbot.html , and the advise given was to "delete the infected programs"... so I delete win.exe? I think not.
    I ran the virus scan in safemode, but still no joy. Does anybody know how I can go about getting rid of this? And no, reinstalling my o/s is not really an option.

    'Twas a joke... incidentally get AVG. It's free and there's a chance Norton might be infected if it's asking you to delete win.exe

    If you have the books off the cd, microsoft will replace it if its not a oem version and is a full package product, as for a product key they will also replace that.

    Call Microsoft Ireland they should sort you out.
