I had a Worm virus caught by Nortons Antivirus and
deleted as it came in an email. I could not find the
file mentioned anywhere. Things seemed to be ok untill I
found MSOffice programs took 10 mins to open and would
run very, very, slowly. Reloaded MSoffice and Win2000 to
fix. Now I can not access 'Sharing' or 'Properties' for
any of my drives. Right Click on C\: in My Computer,
then click Sharing or Properties and nothing happens. As
a result I can not access the sharing for drives or
folders to enable networking between my 2 PC's. Can
anyone shed light on this problem? Thanks in advance.

You still might be infected. Open Taskmanager and look for the msblast.exe,
mspatch.exe or teekids-proces. Kill it and go to www.sophos.com to get the
removaltool. This tool will also delete the registry-entries the worm made.
After that install ms03-039 from microsoft to prevent from happening again.
