Receiving a Norton AntiVirus Alert When Installing the Microsoft Virtual Machine Program
Installing a current release of the Microsoft Virtual Machine (VM) program, such as build 3186 or 3188, generates an alert from the Norton AntiVirus 2000 software program. The alert is about a “WM.Niceday Macro Virus,” but “with a differen t , ha rml ess payload macro,” in Xmldso.cab (XML classes that ship in the Microsoft VM program).
The cause of this alert is due to a problem with the Norton AntiVirus 2000 program, not the virus definitions.
To resolve the issue, contact Symantec and inquire about the availability of a fix for this issue. To work around the issue, click “Ignore the problem and continue” when you receive the Norton
AntiVirus Alert. For additional information, go to the Symantec Web site at
