sometimes when im browsing here, my norton 2005 popsup saying i have a worm, it only ever does it when i click on the reply button and it only seems to do it once.
it auto deletes the file without a problem but is this a false positive or?

My guess is this occurs because of the spamfilter forum. Norton must be detecting some of the pasted text messages as being the actual virus.
