Re: Virus on 2000 machine



WiZEGUY aka WiZEGUY@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,after much thought,came
up with this jewel:

Is there an application that i can run on a 2000 machine that shows
me what patches are needed? Mind you, these servers have no access
to the internet. I'm having an issue with a virus that i can't get
rid of and i think it's because these systems haven't been patched in
a long time.

FYI about virus - Risk: "Downloader" in File: C:\WINNT\system32\i

My antivirus is successfully catching and deleting it but it reoccurs
everytime a scan is performed. Also, it's now starting to shutdown
by itself with that system shutdown window that states:

This system is shutting down. Please save all work in progress and
log off. Any unsaved changes will be lost. This shutdown was
initiated by NT AUTHORITY/SYSTEM. The system process
'C:\WINNT\system32\services.exe' terminated unexpectedly with status
code 128. The system will now shut down and restart.

Any help how to resolve this is very much appreciated!
