Virus query

Navidad.worm is not detected by Norton Antivirus 2003,  Panda, Mcafee 7.0 and QuickHeal6.08 but is detected by a Virus bustor floppy named Quickheal Express for DOS. I have only one floppy. The contents of the floppy cannot be seen and copied. Even if we copy the contents of the floppy still it asks for the floppy when the virus is detected on the system. And the floppy is not available in the market also. What can be done? If this virus is present, your computer will hang frequently and when you are working on a project and your system hangs, you feel like breaking the monitor glass with whatever you have in hand. If my floppy goes corrupt then? Where will I go to remove this Navidad.worm. My computer hangs frequently, I don't know what is the problem. I have latest antivirus with the latest updates. What can be done?
Thanking You.

Are you talking about W32.Navidad worm? It's already have a fix for Norton Antivirus. For more info, read http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.navidad.fix.html
To copy a floppy which is uncopiable, use a hex editor.

Don't you want solid stable product for support, check out google recommendation (support issue):

Your search - "Quickheal Express for DOS" - did not match any documents.

Yet there is a:
"Quick Heal - World's Leading Anti-Virus Software."
http://www.quickheal.com/default.htm
"Want to become a Dealer/Reseller?"
"Free Upgrades"

er, now just who made them the world leader? Isn't there something noteworthy concerning truth in advertising?

The support for site is rather anemic, including no cyclopedia or search capability, just mostly buzzwords. Appearance is a care less attitude towards Navidad and the like.

Hi esmogen,
What is a hex-editor and where is it available. Give me full details. Your answer is fit.
Waiting for the details...
Amit Mehta
a hex editor allows you to edit at the binary level, right on the disk. (simplified). You can make a new floppy (for your case) by opening the a: drive/copy all/change floppy/open that drive/paste/save
you can get one here:

Sorry for the time it took to reply.
