.
Your virus software might not be up to date. You should

try running the Welchia removal tool then apply the
patch. A good way to determine whether or not you have
the virus is to go to C:\\WINNT\SYSTEM32\WINS. If you
have the WINS folder you have the virus.

Since I don't have a c:\WINNT directory, then I must not have the virus. However, I find it odd that
I no longer have a WINNT directory, since I upgraded from NT to 2000. Are you referring to an NT or
W2000 machine?

I don't think that follows. Anyway, if you upgraded from NT to 2000 or
installed 2000 clean you would normally have a WINNT directory, although
it's possible to change the name to anything you like.
