SYMPTOMS
Norton Anti-Virus version 2.1 detects an "unknown" virus in the NTDETECT.COM and PAGEFILE.SYS files.



CAUSE
Norton Anti-Virus interprets NTDETECT.COM as an MS-DOS .COM file and PAGEFILE.SYS as an MS-DOS device driver file. Since these interpretations are incorrect, Norton Anti-Virus incorrectly reports an "unknown" virus.



RESOLUTION
You can ignore these messages.
