202821 2003-12-24 23:13:00 My HP6327 running 98SE crashed.When I run scandisk it says a program is writing to the disk and it won't scan.By using ctr alt delete I found it was something called Av .When I deleted it the scan worked okay.What is Av,assume it may be anti virus but if so how is it fixes.Regards,Maxx.

A quick search of av.exe on google brings up a virus summary for it.

vil.nai.com

It contains removal instructions. Hopefully this will help.

Cheers Chris.
