An unwelcome visitor
Whilst looking through the Rumours and News forum this morning my Norton anti-virus utility detected something calling itself vxd32v.exe. It refused to be deleted or quarantined and the PC froze. After a dozen frustrating re-boots it was picked up by the DoS system and I was able to (I think, touch wood) delete the monster.
Can anyone throw any light on vxd32v.exe?
Thanks.
