Security update

I just installed the latest security update for NT. After
the download and install, the system rebooted. At that
point, my antivirus software kicked in and stated that the
file "D:\winnt\java\classes\xmldso.cab" was infected, and
deleted it. Now, I have programs like AOL IM and
Realplayer are crashing...Dr. Watson. And when I open IE
to browse the net, it just sit's there, fat, dumb and
happy.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what I need to do to get
this system back up on it's feet?

Thanks in advance.

Tom

Hope you can Restore, Tommy (and have some bucks to upgrade NAV2000)!

According to Q244428 and Norton
(http://service1.symantec.com/support/nav.nsf/docid/1999102208041706), you
need to update NAV:

<paste>
Norton AntiVirus detects a virus in a Microsoft update or detects WM.NiceDay
when extracting .cab files

Situation:
You experience one of the following problems:
- When you extract a .cab file during an installation or update, Norton
AntiVirus 2000 (NAV) detects WM.NiceDay in the .cab file. When you scan the
..cab file, no virus is detected. When you scan the extracted files, no virus
is detected.
- When you update the Microsoft Virtual Machine from the Microsoft Web site,
you see an alert that a virus is contained within the update.

Solution:
In almost all cases, this is a false detection, also known as a false
positive. A false positive occurs when an antivirus program reports a virus
in a file that is not actually infected.

This problem has been fixed by a program update. To obtain the update,
please run LiveUpdate, and select the program update from the list. If for
any reason you cannot perform a LiveUpdate, then when you see the virus
alert, click "Ignore the problem and continue."
</paste>

You must take care of this first. Afterwards, over- or re-installing IE6
*may* sort things out or you may have to restore your Registry to a point
predating the install of the update.

This is an NT-specific problem so I suggest you post to this or another
WinNT newsgroup:
