Winlogon.exe file infected
Norton has told me that my winlogon.exe is infected with the W32.Netsky.D@mm virus. It has quaranteed the file, but I could not delete it. Norton could NOT clean the file. How can I delete the file and re-install it with an uninfected one? Win 98SE. Thank you!

How can I delete the file and re-install it with an uninfected one? Win 98SE. Thank you! Most AV programs know only what files were infected. They do not know whether they are your genuine Win98 files altered by the virus or bogus files the virus wrote to your hard drive (and Registry.) 1. Search NGs like this for guidance. You will find 5 to 10 posts confirming WINLOGON is spurious. 2. DOS is your saviour. In DOS, either DELete or REName any suspect file. Then reboot. Then interpret error messages. 2a. If you get error messages but the PC runs OK, you know it was a dud file (and can find and remove file calls to it.) 2b. If the PC will not run, follow prompts to restore a good version of the file you changed. -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) |

How can I delete the file http://securityresponse.symantec.com...oval.tool.html and re-install it with an uninfected one? Forget that. It IS the virus. You do NOT want it. |
