In Brief
False Alarm in Norton AntiVirus
It's bad enough that Symantec's Norton AntiVirus versions 5.0 and 2000 have falsely detected the Blankey or Bloodhound.Unknown virus in some systems. But the cure AntiVirus imposes is almost as severe as a virus itself. If users have altered the "quarantine" function of the app, they may lose data. Symantec spokesperson Vincent Weafer reports that all LiveUpdate virus-definition downloads after March avoid the snag. So if you haven't updated yet, do so now to avoid the problem. For further details, go to Symantec Service and Support, select your version of Norton AntiVirus, and click Go. Then choose Online Virus and Hoax Encyclopedia, and run a search on Bloodhound.Unknown. Or call Symantec's fee-based tech support at 800/927-3991.
