| Art,
|
| Thanks for the response. All the other *.avc and avp.* files match.
|
| I didn't want to start a disagreement between you and David, you've both
| done a great service to the community.
|
| I was having some strange problems with what has been a mostly trouble
| free Win98 system. The original install date was 03-11-2000! It's lived
| through several HDD crashes and backup tape or clone restores.
|
| I ran a full maintenance and all of my anti malware programs.
|
| a-squared anti-trojan reported finding the Downloader.Win32.Agent.avq
| trojan in C:\Windows\Downloaded Program files\Sporder.dll.
|
| That file was acting odd. Downloaded Program files is a hidden folder but
| I have all files set to visible and I couldn't see it in any search or
| dropdown box. It was only visible in File Manager and DOS.
|
| I manually moved it to another folder and ran it through the Virustotal
| scans. Nothing came up. I've since deleted that Sporder.dll file because
| there's a later version in the NOD32 folder.
|
| After all my maintenance including cleaning out the Index.dat flies in
| Windows the systems seems to be working OK again.
|
| I had Mwave, KAVDOSNT and AV-CLS installed.
|
| I did a file comparison on them. That's when I found the different files
| in KAVDOSNT including the older Tro00*.avc files. I was concerned about
| these because of the reported trojan which was probably a FP.
|
| You suggested that I use KAVDOS.EXE instead of KAVDOSNT.BAT to update
| Win98. Why is that?
|
| Thanks again,
|
| Chas.
