RE: Virus Question

This has happened to me before. For me it was a "This program is not
responding" window. A while ago I reinstalled Windows XP Pro (clean
install). The first thing that I installed was the Service Pack and Patches.
Next came McAfee. I believe that the "This program is not responding" window
appeared after installing McAfee, when rebooting the computer. I don't
believe that it was a virus because the OS install was fresh (also behind a
network firewall), just Windows and McAfee were running. Are you using
McAfee? If so...what version? Was the "popup message" a "This program is not
responding" window?

Hi,
Has anyone heard of a virus that causes a windows popup message to appear
with the words "you_should'nt_see_me" or similar? I've googled and searched
AV sites and come up with nothing. But I remember seeing something about a
similar message somewhere. Sorry to be so vague but that's all the info I
was given from a user in a remote office that wasn't very helpful! And no
other symptoms that they are aware of.

BTW we use up to date AV at 3 different levels, gateway, mail server,
PC/server

Thanks
Mike
