Re: [LI] Virus warning after installation > Pls help

["Anand Raman" <anandram@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

HI guys
I forgot to mention a few points
1.    After installing all the packages the system went for a toss and didnt
show me the exit button even after 20 or so odd minutes .There was no
hardidsk activitity for all this timeI have a PII 350 128MB and 4.3 G HDD. So
obviously had to reset the system
2.    The next time i booted the machine i got this virus warning. On
ignoring the warning I am able to boot into linux and use it normally.
Now whats happening
Please advise
Anand
