Yeah, well - If I saw a blerry great cross over the NAV icon in the system tray, then even I might (dimly) realise that something was amiss ... But then I was labouring under the (erroneous) impression that NAV could get nobbled without any such overt sign - weren't I?
I do remain a tad suspicious of NAV and its abilities to pick up viruses as they reach my system - ran a complete system check today (which took longer than I care to think about) and it found 13 viruses. (None of them were Sasser I might add).
How come, I ask myself, did these get there in the first place if the virus scanner was permanently switched on? Maybe a couple of holes in the magic robe?
And you still haven't answered my question as to how you realised you copped Sasser in the first place - was it the fact that NAV had been visibly nobbled, or was it because the system suddenly started behaving like a crippled donkey, or did you have an amazing flash of inspiration that told you to run msconfig, and/or Ctrl-Alt-Del and go look for avserver.exe?
Please amofw - not being sarcastic, just interested to know because I suspect myself of extreme paranoia when my system runs a bit slow and find myself wondering whether NAV isn't jusy a wee bit behind the bleeding edge on occasion ...
I'm really beginning to think in terms of installing a basic entry level system as my interface to the outside world, on the basis that if I have the slightest suspicion that something untoward is happening I will just restore it from a (known good) mirror image and carry on my happy way ...
