MEMORY: Not enough Memory Errors

News Group Message from Chris:
I have had quite a bit of trouble over the past few weeks. Many of my applications have been giving me not enough memory error messages. I made some posts, and scanned my computer with an old anti virus program. No viruses were found. Lately, I updated my anti virus definition (Norton AntiVirus date 24/04/00) and it turns out all those files have the W95.Marburg virus. This virus is common and results in .EXE files being padded so that the file size is divisible by 101. Norton anti virus solved my problem.
