echo j | format c: and Norton
Norton reacts to the line:
echo j | format c: ...but it's just a line of text. The software must be really poorly written. It thinks that the text is a virus. |

Actually, it even thinks your post is a virus. It keeps popping up a warning which I opened your post.

echo j | format c: is actually a virus operation
I had a problem with a virus 3 years ago Momma.something replaced my autoexec.bat with that line. |

Eeek. Does this mean then that if Norton was set to "auto-delete" virus-infected files, that someone could send an email with the above in the subject and delete the target users mailbox?

depends - if it was in the attachment, yes, but if it ended in the subject, and managed to get into the inbox, then norton may try and delete the inbox file.
I think some experiments are in order. |
