hi everyone.
heres the problem:
i am running os 10.4.8 tiger on my mac.
last night i was infected with Js/Downloader Aud trojan. i ran net shredder after i got off the net and my virus scanner (i had a mcafee virex demo) said it located the file in the net shedder cache as i was clearing the files (in net shredder). it said it could not be repaired due to permission. i then resarted in safe mode and did a scan again but it seems like net shedder encrypted it and i couldn't find the file. i went out today and bought norton antivirus and put it on my computer and did a complete scan on my hard drive and nothing showed up.
now heres the question. if norton isn't picking it up, does it mean its not there? if i encrypted it in net shredder does that mean its dormant in my harddrive somewhere? if i reinstall everything will it truly be gone? am i screwed??
that you ahead of time for the help. this is racking my brain.
