Error message. Can't delete netsky
« on: April 24, 2004, 04:41:47 PM »
Hey there,

found out my confuser (OUTLOOK EXPRESS 6 ) was sending out virus messages when I got one bounced back to me.

McAfee didn't detect it. Downloaded Avast!4. Problem detected immediately and removed.

I receive one  or two NETSKY type virus emails per day.

AVAST! 4 detects the email.

Then I try to delete it.

An ERROR MESSAGE then pops up and  says something like "can't find temp file" or  whatnot. I am then forced to close the AVAST! 4 warning window and look at the email.

In the subject line there is a message from AVAST!4 saying that it has detected a virus. I delete the mesage to the trash bin.

Why do I have this bug?

Why isn't Avast! 4 deleting the emails directly?

Can you please offer me a work around or fix please?

I have disabled McAfee from my Start-Up menu, but after AVAST! 4 failed to delete the email then McAfee suddenly popped up and said that it had detected a virus and got onto cleaning it.

Thanks. BOJINKA

Two antivirus at the same time could mess your computer and the virus detection  :'(

I agree with Technical about using 2 anti-virus programs at the same time. They will conflict with each other.     :(  

As a recent former user of McAfee, I can tell you it is not as good as avast!    :D
