Netdc error on boot up

When booting W98 a dialog box appears with Netdc file missing error.
Can anyone tell me where I can download the missing file or how to repair
this fault ?

This trojan is not meant to attack Win98 according to the url below,
but I don't see why not. Follow the instructions as best you can,
although your AV may have removed it and only left the Registry
entries (see the "Removing Autostart entries" section and read between
the lines a bit.

What AV are you using?
Are there any entries in the log files giving an indication of a
removed virus?

1. Is the fault that Win98 fails to boot or is this an
error message (file not found) that seems to be
nonfunctional?
2. Are you on a network? If not, you may not
need this file. If you are, ask the network chief.

Thanks for reply...Iam using AVG (free version) and yes a trojan dialler
exists but when I run the AVG it does not remove it.
I am not really familiar with log files etc but will read the links and see
what action I can take.

Hi

Its an error message, file not found..i followed the link In Alans reply and
deleted Netda entry in registry, rebooted but this appears again. Also on
booting AVG (free version) detects PSW.Dumarin.Z trojan in
WINDOWS\DVPD.DLL...i select Heal but this also keeps reappearing.

Any advice how to remove the 2 problems ?

Did you first stop both NETDC and NETDA running with Ctrl+Alt+Del?
If not, one will probably recreate the Registry entries again.

Did you also remove the entry in the Registry for NETDC?

Does AVG have a web page with any information of this version of
Dumarin? (I can't find any but I am not familiar with Grisoft)

Did you check Startup for any reference that may be similar to the
ones at the url I gave you?
Check in Msconfig for any oddities.
(Start-Run-MSCONFIG-Startup tab)
If you cannot see anything in Msconfig then:

Start-Run-msinfo32
Click the + beside Software Environment to expand.
Click Startup Programs
Ctrl+A to Select All, Ctrl+C to Copy.
Paste that information in your message.

Get rid of the trojan first.
If your AV app does not do so effectively
DELete it in DOS and tidy up later.

NETDC and NETDA don't appear when I do Ctrl+Alt+Del.......

I asked you more questions than you answered.
Please answer them all.

Get rid of SERVICE.EXE and the Registry entry for it (r_server).
That can only be a virus or parasite and I am surprised that AVG does
not pick it up.
The Registry entry will be under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run
The file is in your System folder.

I don't see any entry for NETDA. You said it reappeared but where?
