Hi, Seehar. You want to download Stinger (and any other tools) on a
clean machine and either save it to cd-r or a floppy. CD-r is easiest,
I think. Then you want to go into Safe Mode to turn off services and
run Stinger and all that. You won't be allowed to do anything
constructive in regular mode because of the viruses. And yes, I think
you have more than one.
