| well, i used msconfig to stop Norton from coming up. Short of reinstalling like you said i think this is pretty much all i can do. but technically, Norton really is Malware |

As much as I pitty you for running windows and it's associated craptacular anti-virus, this is not the thread to be discussing it. This thread is a warning about the possibility of someone posting a virus (*.exe) and claiming it is their program.
There are plenty of other windows related problem threads that anti-virus has and can continue to be discussed in. |

what kind of OS are you running? If i could take a guess, id say you were running a Mac.
as far as Turing goes, it can't be used to create a virus, can it? ( i know people will post viruses regardless of what computer programming language it is) but is it technically possible to write a virus with turing? |

Guess again, and yes. But since people have been known to post zipped exes there realy is no way of telling what was used to write the code; or even if they wrote it themselves. Even source code though can hide malicious code; obfuscation is an art that is rather well known and highly developed. |

Okay, my final guess is that you're running on Linux.
What programming language is the majority of computer viruses written in? |

For those who complain about Windows and it's insecurity: Wait a few months and get Vista, then turn on all the enhanced security features. But be warned, having too much security will drive you crazy. I ran the beta and it kept fading the screen and asked "Are you sure" when you went to modify a file (eg:rename,delete,move). I disabled that in the settings.
I'm pretty sure you can still File.Delete on Vista and the warning wont pop up though. |

When I do get better and can make good programs, I'm probably just going to post the source  |
