Hello all, please help, I can't get rid of win32server.exe (in
windows\system) which almost certainly is a virus associated with molebox.
Is there any info about molebox? Norton antivirus sees nothing wrong with
it. It seems to cause crashes of outlook express.

I learn that this is a trojan virus called hackarmy. It says in the molebox
pages to get rid of it by running task manager (ctrl-shift -esc) and finding
win32server.exe there as a running process, stopping the process and
deleting the thing. On my win 98 the task manager seems absent, at least it
is not accessible by the above method and 'find' does not find it. Any
suggestions?

the instructions you've found so far assumed you were using a windows
NT based operating system like NT, 2000, or XP...

for a 9X based version of windows you may need to find some other way
to ensure the program isn't running before you delete it... there is a
9X version of process explorer at http://www.sysinternals.com (i
believe) which might be able to let you kill the process... another
option would be trying to restart in safe-mode and deleting it then...

Try Ctrl-Shift-Del instead; that should be working.

Hello all, many thanks; ctrl-ALT-del did the trick! All seems well now;
funny how norton a.v. can't detect this.

1) Items run as services don't show up in Task Manager (Ctl+Alt+Del)
2) Malware may disable Task Manager, Regedit, MSConfig, av etc.
3) Informal av scanning may be defeated, side-stepped etc. by malware

So I'd do a formal virus scan first, and use DOS mode to Extract /A
new TASKMAN.EXE or other system files if these were troj'd.

Oops, sorry, my bad. I use it without thinking about it, and so mixed up
the keys. (ducks and runs away)
