    Hello,

    My question is : if I have several virus on a normal user session, will my administrator session be infected too ?

    My pc is cleaned (thanks to TimW), there's no problem with that.
    I just want to know the answer to my question since I have created today a new session and that I wondered some questions.

    Thanks for answering, I thought that everyone had decided not to answer me and I felt a little alone.

    If there's no thread, that's because I had asked to delete my posts for some personal reasons.

    Viruses may embed themselves into your system files, these are used by all users. The main difference between users are the user settings and individual programs installed by the individual users.

    Viruses may also embed themselves in the Master Boot Record, used by everyone.

    So yes, an infection in a user account may well affect that machine regardless what user account is active. And a virus removal procedure, from any and all administrative account is necessary, but you should have only one admin account per computer.

    Hope this answers your questions. You weren't being ignored, it just wasn't clear as to where you stood regarding your issues. :wave:wave:wave
