Warning! New virus alert

"when i turn it off by pressing the on button (that also turns it off if u hold it for 10 seconds), it does a disk check where it scans the computer."

You'll find that's standard practice. When you turn a computer off without shutting it down first, it leaves all sorts of file handles open, and doesn't bother parking the HDD. This can cause HDD errors, so windows will happily run a disk check when you boot it up again.

You guys have actually surprised me here - let's just say you're not the first bunch that I've heard accuse Norton of creating the virii

And last but not least, don't diss Microsoft for this one - if you check out the message source, you'll see the email actually comes form a lithuanian address. Plenty of nasty types in .lt, I can tell ya

It's all too easy to spoof an email, hell if anyone wants an email from bill.gates@microsoft.com saying he's leaving all his money to you, just let me know
