| 342376 | 2005-04-07 05:37:00 | Norton AV 2005 has quarantined to backup file qpidgen.dll At start up windows 98 reports unable to find qpidgen.dll Please advise what action I need to take |

| 342379 | 2005-04-07 05:52:00 | Thats a good link Overdrive, gives proper instructions to my second method. To be safe right click the key you are going to change and Export, this will allow an easy fix if all goes wrong. |

Thanks for reply rob99, however I should explain I am a wrinkly newbie and don't understand your advise. Should I restore the quarantined file, as Norton seems not to have repaired/replaced it, and the sys complains at start up ? |

| 342382 | 2005-04-07 06:42:00 | w32.mota.b@mm is the same as worm_mabutu.a just a different name so the removal instructions will be the same 2 :thumbs: | Overdrive_5000 (4950) | ||
| 342383 | 2005-04-07 07:27:00 | Should I restore the quarantined file, as Norton seems not to have repaired/replaced it, and the sys complains at start up ?You don't want to restore the file. After you have followed the steps to manually clean your machine, you won't get that message any more. :) As you are using Norton's, they have a manual removal instruction guide as well - W32.Mota.B@mm (securityresponse.symantec.com). Follow the removal instructions and make sure you do all the steps including the registry key deletion part. These instructions are basically the same as posted before. If any part of those instructions are confusing, please just ask for further clarification. :) |
