My old lap top that I keep in my semi also got the same damn virus and I guess that one is toast.

Lost all my picture's and video's including the entire build of my Checkmate boat, thank god most of those pics are loaded onto the Checkmate forum.

I lost everything on my computers, work & home

I had 30 days of virus protection on my new pc. Just longenough for me to catch a virus

Still having issues with work computer.

Work computer will load the atvc header, but not the forum- it hangs, and locks the entire computer up- have to reboot.
It also wiped out my email path from my lotus notes to the abbott server, among other issues. Abbott IT has been working on my computer since monday.

Home computer has spamm galore on it- moved files, deleted just about everything in pics & docs folder, if I type in one web site it goes to another...

Tonight is the first time I've been able to get to the atvc before the computer crashes.

Norton isn't picking it up anymore. I guess it's fixed again. For now anyway.

When I got the virus alert, it blocked the virus and the page from loading. No other issues with other websites or with any of the files already saved on my computer.

If you lost info, I'd get rid of whatever protection devices you were using before.

Oh, leaving a wegpage before it loads is not protection.

Hi Nolan, this is a screen capture of the Norton history for the Webattack virus.... Okay, I can't upload it. If I try to resize it, it gets pretty blurry and is unreadable. If you PM me an email address I'll send it.

Things seem to be okay now. I haven't had a single instance of Norton popping up and telling me that it blocked an attack attempt.
