| Thanks for the info. I don't know what could be wrong. I followed the
| directions and found them simple and easy to follow. For some reason,
| this program did not like my PC. What precipitated all this was Avast
| finding win32:adware-gen(ADW) and Win32:rootkit-gen(RTK). Avast
| recommended I move them to the chest, which I did. Then I ran thorough
| scan last night that took hours and the PC was clean. I turned off
| system restore before running the scan in safe mode. This morning, I
| found win32:trojan-gen and some problem with a Java 1.06 bin file.
| What I can't figure out, is that the buggers didn't show up on the
| thorough scan last night, but showed up when I ran another scan, "just
| to be on the safe side". I hope this is not one of those SP3 for WinXP
| related issues. I also have Super-Antispyware that found a couple of
| tracking cookies and nothing else; I also ran Ad-Aware and Spybot that
| I run faithfully every Saturday and they showed nothing. It was
| interesting to note that Avast showed the warning when I was scanning
| with SAS...go figure
|
| I thought there was a problem so, and I quit the Sophos scan. I
| proceeded to the Trend Micro scan and that ran fine and found no
| issues; I started the Kaspersky module, and it's been running since 10
| am; it's now 3pm. It's going thru my C drive, but I see a lot of
| "error=delete wrong pointer(00000000)" I don't have a clue what that
| means or if the scanner is doing it's job with all the errors. I
| haven't been able to sit and watch the whole process for all those
| hours.
|
| I couldn't tell if my PC was actually infected , but thought I should
| do something about the warning messages. Maybe all I should have done
| was move the offenders to the chest, but took what I thought was the
| safer road, now I'm not so sure.
|
| Thank you David. You provide a great service to those of us with
| issues.

There are three batch files. One for; McAfee, Sophos and Kaspersky.
Try the Sophos BAT file, C:\AV-CLS\SOFclean.bat and see if that runs.

Dave:

I tried typing "C:\ AV-CLS\SOFclean.bat" from the command line as well as
going into the AV-CLS folder and clicking the Sophos MS-DOS batch folder.
Both methods opened the file briefly and them shut down.

Kaspersky came up with one corrupted file and no infections. I ran all my
stuff again SASpyware, Ad-aware, Spybot and Avast...nothing this time. Awful
lot of errors in the Kaspersky module as it was running. In the Trend module
there were log error messages "94" if that means anything.

Is there something else I should try? I have no symptoms of anything. I did
run Stinger and that was clean as well.

This PC runs well, fast and nothing in any of the event viewer folders that
would indicate any problems that I can see. If there are issues they are
probably Windows probs more then I can tackle and handle. I appreciate any
suggestions.

Diane
