Yup. AVG sent an updated edition (7.5476) after my 1st msg. I recently ran it and
on my Win2K partition it spotted LOGIC.EXE which is a Trojan loader. (No big deal
there. When LOGIC.EXE first tried to get a connection out my firewall asked me for
permission and on general principles I said to block it.) It also found 4 product
files that were infected and deleted them. Which means I could not start Win2K.
So I dug out the product disk and ran the Repair option (minus the repair on the
startup files which would mess with dual boot).
Even tho they've released the new version AVG still has no options for warning much
less repair. It doesn't even have an option to print a report of what was deleted
so you can replace those couple files yourself from the CABs.
My assessment of the corporate culture is a bit different from yours. Because of
his reputation for leadership, courage, vision & boldness, someone is promoted to
boss. Actually he is a simpleminded bully and a poser. He simply exercises machismo
and shows he is top cat by moving up the product release date. If the gamble works
and nothing goes wrong he has proven that the fuzzy thinking intellectuals (the programmers)
were a bunch of timid nellies, who just needed a real man to kick them around. If
it goes wrong, then he blames the programmers and demands a golden parachute as the
price for being fired. Or better yet, he moves to a new company as the old one is
suffering the damages he inflicted and says he is switching because the old company
could not encompass his bold and expansive view.
