Help me help someone else

I have a user that every time she opens up one excel spreadsheet in particular or one icon on her screen it creates a shortcut. SPAMShe is running NT 4.0. SPAMJust seems weird to me.

If this user opens the one Spreadsheet, then saves it as something else does the same thing happen?

I would also suggest ensuring they are using the latest and greatest virus definition and check for a worm or the like.

Does sound very strange. Look at the properties of the shortcut, what's in the program line? There may be some extra code in the line creating the shortcuts?

Curious to hear more on this.

No just opening the file creates the shortcut. SPAMRunning NAV Corprate edition so it should be up to date. SPAMJust freaky beyond all reason. SPAMI will check and see where it's pointing to. SPAMThanks

[Chef]

Just like when you run dos aplication it automatically creates shortcut ;)

Sounds like virus for me too, SO many Office viruses SPAM:'(

Yhea it's point to a diffrent folder and all that. SPAMDoes anyone know much about NAV corprate edition. SPAMEverything else is automated but form some of the messages I see it seems that you have to go in and manully clean files. SPAMI don't thing my administator really knows or cares. SPAMI quess everyone likes to leave it to the low man on the scrotum pole. SPAM::)

I don't know bout corporate ed, but NAV 2k, 2k1 totally sux !
It's doesn't clean properly and very heavy. kills boot time, just hate it. Probably worst AV ever ... SPAM>:(
Go for AVP ;)

I never got my hands on the Administrator Side of the corporate edition but we did use it at my company and had no trouble with it.

Sounds like you need to get into it and check what it scans for. NAV 2k, 2k1 are ok but 2002 is the best yet. I haven't had a single trouble as of yet since installing it and well it takes care of itself. I haven't had to do anything and it's kept me clean.

Everything relating to the corp. ed. is run from the server and unless the Admin sets it up correctly and ensure that all the stations are updated properly and scanned completely you're SOL guy.

Tired and burned out, am I making any sense. Maybe next time eh?

[Grinnin Reaper]

Making complete sense I think I'm there to. SPAMTired of wiping everyone elses butts. SPAM
