|
|
Has anybody else experienced this behavior in Win2K:
I open a text document (in Notepad), and it will disappear (close itself)
after a few seconds. If I have made changes, they are lost... Haven't
noticed it with any other apps, just Notepad...

ISTR there are two "Notepad" vruses/trojans, one relatively old which
renames Notepad.Exe to Notepad.Com and installs part of itself as the
..Exe, and a more recent one which arrives as Notepad.Com and then does
I'm not quite sure what - NortonAV as an example only updated its
defintions to detect the more recent one in the past couple of weeks
or so.
Cheers, Martyn

Not consciously. I guess I didn't expect a virus to be that benign (if it
would've done that to Word, I would've really been in an uproar).
BTW, R U rel8d 2 Duane?
