Virus removal on the Windows XP installation on my MacBook?

Saturday, September 5th, 1998

Sonian asked:

My college offers a free professional version of Norton Antivirus and it didn’t find any viruses on the Windows partition of my MacBook. I used Apple’s Boot Camp 1.2b to install Windows and so far so good. I used ClamXav on my Mac OS X partition and it found five instances of “AdWare.BHO-2″. Since the partition is NTFS, I can’t do anything to the Windows partition from within OS X. What should I do to remove these supposed virus detections?
In response to the first answer: I did a search and everyone recommends never having multiple antivirus programs in active memory at once. I’m wondering how I can install AVG Anti-Virus Free yet not have it in active memory and protecting in real-time, yet instead only scanning when I open it myself and make it scan. How can I do this?

How do I get rid of Shankar’s virus on a MAC?

Saturday, October 11th, 1997

I’m not your star. asked:

For a while now, when I open Microsoft Word documents, I get the warning that there are macros inside. I’ve been told that they were harmless, but just recently I’ve been getting those weird Shankar virus messages (Did you wish Shankar on his birthday?)

Anyway… I really want to get rid of all this, but I don’t have an antivirus program on my computer and the antivirus programs I have seen online do not work on my Mac computer. What should I do?

(For those of you who need more info about the virus, since I’m not sure how well known it is, go here:

It’s the Marker.O part)

Thanks so much!
