Greetings everyone
A friend thought their W2K Pro OS had been infected with the Win32/Zotob
virus shutting systems down throughout the nation. Everytime they tried to
open a program such as a system utility program (disc cleanup) etc, a window
would pop up stating the program encoutered errors and will have to be
restarted. Even trying to access "regedit" through the "run" program, a
warning of the same kind popped up. Also while trying to removed programs, a
similar message would pop up.
I downloaded the MS05-039 security patch, but it doesn't seem to do any
good. I have ran Anti Spyware (Beta). I even manually looked for the
"zotob.exe" file in the taskmanager, and the winnt folder, and didn't see it.
I am now confused as to whether this is the Win32/Zotob.A worm or not. I can
access and perform simple maintenance in Safe Mode. Has anyone else had such
problems as I am having? Any help would be much appreciated.
