I'm running W2K with NSW 2003. It found 2 viriis on my pc and it successfully deleted one. The 2nd one was found in my TIF cache (IE 5.5) and said it could not delete/fix it. So i chose to quarantine it and examining the location of the virus, it was under a subfolder in the TIF under "archive.jar".

Question: In this case, since it was found under the TIF, is it safer to manually delete the TIF cache or use NAV to quarantine it.

Second: How is it that I could not find the virus file name in the TIF but NAV could see it in the "archive.jar" file?

Chewy, I run ME so the 2 may be different. On mine, ANYTHING in the TIFs is ok to delete. It's sole purpose in life is to keep things handy in case you decide to revisit the same site again. I have mine set to delete the TIFs on exit just to avoid having to do it manually. The file is considered an 'active' one & NSW can't 'fix' an active file. HTH.

Thanks Ed. I know the purpose of the TIF cache. I was just wondering if it was any safer to let NAV quarantine it or just go in and delete the cache myself.
