The errors on files being Scanned by Trend Sysclean are either files that have the
respective File Handles open and thus can't be scanned or you logged in with insufficient
rights to scan all files. To fully scan and clean a system it is best to logon as the
administrator or an account with administrative rights.
It sounds like you are now in good shape. That's good. To let you know, reformatting and
reinstalling an OS is a draconian knee jerk reaction and should only be done if there is NO
personal data or if all other efforts at cleaning the system are exhausted or if the machine
is so infected that it is unrecoverable. It is rare that a PC is so infected that it is
unrecoverable. The infectors you had are not that bad that a format and reinstall would
have been warranted. Note also that a reformat will NOT cure true viruses in the sub-class
Boot Sector Infectors.

| Thanks everyone for getting back to me on this. I have had quite a night I
| followed your instructions Dave I ran trend micro which took 4 hours the
| first time it found one instance of a virus called troj_istbar.am and four
| instances of another one called troj_startpge.kr. it apperaed to me that
| trend micro tried first to move these files and then deleted them also the
| original file "error32.dat" was in this list. A lot of files came up as error
| 94 what does this mean? I then ran the Lava soft ad-aware which found 188
| objects. 47 reg keys, 124 reg values, 17 files. at the third pass the user
| stat page informs me that it has removed 614 objects. I am very annoyed at
| this outcome when I purchased this machine i also purchased (off the shelf )
| Norton internet security professional 2004 which included the firewall and
| antivirus software I left the pc to run trend micro again and went to bed and
| on it's second pass has found no virus but again a great many files with
| error 94. I like to add that I do not use any of the dodgey download sites
| but would sometines get cd's from friends other than that ido not know how i
| could catch a virus.
|
| thanks again everyone for taking the time and interest. Alias I am not sure
| how to use the reply to sender feature so I will read the help file. one
| final question what do I do now.
