This worm infects executables. When you ran the stinger it would of cleaned these files and removed them. This is why your AV program no longer runs, plus you will find some other programs also will no longer launch. The entries under Add/Remove for these programs will also need to be removed. I know in XP it just says that this program has already been uninstalled, so would you like to remove the entry from Add/Remove - I'm not sure how Win2000 deals with old entries like this. You will need to reinstall your AV program, plus all the other executables that were infected and removed. I just cleaned a machine with the W32/Pate (W32/Parite) worm, and they lost their AVG, MS Office, Mailwasher plus a few other applications - all which had to be reinstalled once the machine was clean. |

I think these may have started about the same time I started having problems and I was wondering if the two things were related? They are probably not related unless your firewall has been disabled somehow (you do have a firewall, don't you?). The messages are coming in through Windows Messenger and you can disable WM by downloading and running Shoot the Messenger (www.grc.com). For your other problems post your HijackThis logfile here as Godfather has advised so that we can sort through it. |
