[mike_es]

when I boot up one of me ´pooters,I get a warning from esafe antivirus telling me that "Scam32.exe" is trying to connect to the internet and should I allow Esafe to place it in a sandbox and connect to the internet?
Any ideas??? What is Scam32.exe.? Only started this morning so I think someones tried to be a smart***e with my ´pooter yesterday.:mad: :mad:

P.S. It won´t disappear when I click no.Just keeps on coming up .

Do not allow it to connect! Scam 32.exe is a virus. See Speedguide's Home page for info. Reboot into DOS and type del (space) scam32.exe at the WINDOWS prompt. It should look like this:
C:\WINDOWS>del scam32.exe
Then follow directions on how to remove virus here (http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.sircam.worm@mm.html).
