- Adding old Hard drive as slave on new system, Scan first throughNetwork?
- Posted by lbbss on February 11th, 2008
I bought a new computer and will add the old hard drive as slave on
the new system. I have had viruses in the past. And I suspect I
could have a virus still on my hard drive that is not detected. How
do I make sure it is totally clean before adding it to my new
system? I have access to it by way of a network right now and am
scanning it through the network. I found so far one trojan, and
still scanning. Any ideas?

That is not the problem. I have Norton on my old computer, But I know
sometimes if you have been infected its hard to clean up your
system. I suspect there might be a problem. I can't select any
scan locations from Norton anymore. But the schedule scans still
operate fine. Its proof enough that its compromised, since I found
now 2 viruses and one Trojan, by scanning through the network. tx

Hi, lbbss. Have you ever heard it said, "I'd about as soon have the
viruses (virii?) as to have Norton on my computer"? ...may be a tad of
truth beneath that irony.
