Antivirus 2008

I'm pretty sure that you are the only poster with an MVP in his handle
that uses such juvenile and foul language. Something tells me you're not
really an MVP.

And please enlighten us as to what "cyberstalking" is. Did someone
install a Web cam on your PC that you don't know how to disconnect? Or
is someone perhaps sending e-mails to you that you haven't figured out
how to filter? Instant messages? Perhaps you should visit that Web page
and just stay there and do the rest of the world a big favor by stalking
yourself. If not, I guess I'll just have to exercise my option to ignore
you. In fact, I think I'll start right now: PLONK!

PCButts is a dangerous troll and is not an MVP.

Not in my opinion but I've installed XP so many times, I can do it in
my sleep.
Understood.

Nonetheless, with malware, you're never sure. With a format and a
reinstall you are unless, of course, you have a virus in the BIOS.

Agreed.

For information and enlightenment:

I fixed the problem, it turned out to be a winsock corruption.

reinstalling tcp was the answer.

Yep that's what I figured, my Remove-it would have fixed it as it has
Winsock corruption fix built-in.

One XPPro workstn was infected by the antivirus 2008 trojan, which I have
managed to clean.
One problem remains: I cannot browse any server (2003) shares via network

Next time, do not download the virus, and then, if you manage to
download it, do not install it. It's all up to you.

of the operating system is going to work. Yes, you can try
to scan and eliminate the initial virus, but you generally
cannot undo the damage caused by the virus to the system
files. You'll need to reformat your hard drive and then
