Q: I use Win me and I saw something strange in the last few days when I type a wrong url and I get sent to auto.search.msn
I Norton Antivirus 2000 and when I got to http:// auto.search. msn.com / response.asp it says:
“The file C: WINDOWS Temporary Internet Files Content.IE5 CRKT4LE7 bs [1]. poison is infected with the virus JS.Exception.Exploit.
I clearing my cache files but I still get the warning when I go there.
Anyone else getting this with Norton?
Should I worry, or do you think theres anything wrong with Notrton antivirus? 977,503: (

Re:OMG!!! I just found the problem. Since no one can replicate this I did some digging. Somehow a hosts file was put on my computer and the only entry is "66.28.33.54 auto.search.msn.com". I've always been diligent in updating my virus pattern files so I don't know how this hosts file was created. The date on it is May 3rd of this year. Well, I'm off to see who own this site…the basterds!

Re:I just upgraded to 2002 version and I have the latest updates. It still happens. The problem is that I dont think Norton lets the file fully download. Cause the file is 0 bytes in length and when I copy it out of the folder I get no warning. I'm not going to turn off norton to download this file. Guess I'll just have to live with it. thanks for your replies.

Re:Spuds. I'm can't reproduce it here. Can you zip up that file (with a pw) and send it (and the pw) to me? I'll have the response group take a peak (I work for Symantec). Also, do you have the latest defs?
