Hi,
I am running windows 2000 professional and I can't get
rid of the spybot in my system.
C:/ win nt/system32/win sock 2.exe.
Can anyone help me on this matter.
I found out where it is lurking, but because it is has
become part of my system I don't know how it can be
removed without causing problems with my system.
Any help would be appreciated.
many thanks

Do you get a dialog on startup that you didn't used to get and a process
win32server.* in the task list?
There is a virus, Backdoor-AZV or Backdoor.IRC.Bot, (McAfee or Symantec
names), which creates this process, and the file version information says
something about it being winsock something or other, sorry, it's a few days
since I looked at a copy so I've forgotten the exact details.
