Help
Hi,
If a Windows XP machine has been disinfected (in this case by Malwarebytes and SuperAntivirus) and then, 5 days later, shows signs of infection, is it possible to determine if the machine has been re-infected by recent activities of the user, or by remnants of the old infection that were not properly removed?
Thanks,

With the infections that are making the rounds now, I would have to say that you probably never got rid of the whole thing

Having grandkids is God's way of giving you a 2nd chance because you were too busy working your butt off the 1st time around

Hi Mark,
Yes, that's the feeling I had "in the water" but I wondered if I could read anything into the 5-day delay before the re-infection became evident.
Not so eh?
Thanks,
