Hi I have self propagating W32.Virut.W in Win 2000 Pro sp 4 I have read the posts below for Vista, but I am uncertain if the fix is the same for Win 2000 Pro sp 4. It seems to have attached itself to explorer.exe . I am hoping that you can provide me some help.http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/itprovistasetup/thread/d99c7aa8-5c1d-49fb-a1a6-bfef8da53efd/Thanks,format_1
