OneCare Virus source?
When OneCare detects a virus, is there a way to see what the source was? I
got a message from OC today about a trojan it cleaned, but there was no
place I could see to find out where I had picked it up. Thanks.

It should be made more obvious, in my opinion. For now, open OneCare, click
Change Settings, Logging tab, create support log. The log report will open in
your web browser. Scroll to the virus and spyware section.

What if it mis-identifies some software? Is there a way to get it back
and then flag the file to never get identified again?
