Hi Rick,

Thanks for the virus notice. I updated my definitions, ran NAV, found the culprit and promptly deleted it! MSDN seems to run OK following the deletion.

Thanks again.

>After installing the October MSDN, I ran Norton AntiVirus (NAV 5.02-NT), and it reported that C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MSDN\1033\COLCHNG.EXE, contained a "Trojan Horse" virus. I submitted this to the Symantec AntiVirus Research Center (SARC), and they confirmed it. I rechecked the CD and it is also "infected".

Thanks,

TFISHER
