Mike:

We can't assume what you mean nor read your mind so the following was extremely important to
note..

| By "thorwing a rod" I mean every time I run NAV, it
| reports that these files are infected and cannot delete
| them b/c "access is denied".

Try hitting "Ctrl-Alt-Del" and bring up the TaskManager. Look through the list of running
applications.
Do you see w32x386u ?
If you do see it in the list, shut it down then delete the file in the dllcache directory.

| The viruses are W32.Tzet.Worm, BAT.Trojan,
| Backdoor.IRC.Cloner, IRC.Backdoor.Trojan and IRC Trojan.
|

|
| You are correct it is WINNT and not WINNIT.
|

|
| What do I do?
