Re: [GWL]: New Virus - quarantining file

Hello Steve:

How do you quarantine a file?  I have Norton Antivirus, and use Netscape
Communicator 4.6.  Thanks.

When anything unexpected comes with an attachment of any sort, not necessarily an exe file, I quarantine the item, respond to the letter and ask what the hell that is and why was it sent. When anything unexpected comes from a known sender with an attachment I quarantine the letter and ask more politely what the hell that attachment is and is their computer virus free.
