Viruscan 4.5.0

[Mikecl]

I am using scan32 to check/clean viruses but each time it finds a virus in the log I get the following message. Is this normal is it cleaning the virus, if not what needs to be done to ensure it cleans ok?

========================================================
10/30/02 10:01 AM Infected e:\tfs47\viruscan\friendsworld.scr W32/Yaha.g@MM (Removable)
10/30/02 10:01 AM Clean Error e:\tfs47\viruscan\friendsworld.scr W32/Yaha.g@MM

Hi

The Yaha is normally cleanable, but the file in your case is not cleanable due to the fact that the whole file is the virus.

Nothing to clean...

Thanks for the response,

Does this mean the file was deleted if so you would think the log would show deleted?

From experience, if it shows "Clean Error", the file is deleted. Verify if the file is still there.

HTH, AVChap
... take my advice, I don't use it anyway!

Hi

Thanks for the response,

Difficult to check if the file is still there as it scans attachments before forwarding so there is nothing in the directory to check.
