My daughter does a lot of talking on MSN Messenger using my old W98 desktop machine and I am fairly sure she has managed to get it infected with something.
I have Command ant-virus (fully updated) installed and the memory resident portion keeps telling that there is infection in setup.exe contained in c:\program files\c2media. If I delete setup.exe and remove c2media then the next time it boots up it reappears.
When I look at the report from CAV it tells me that the program is called by ¦¦¦) or something similar, which I assume is the source but I can't find it.
If I run CAV from the system tray it only ever finds the setup.exe and, if I have deleted it, it then tells me that there is no infection. Even booting into DOS and running the DOS based f-prot AV program gives no further information.
I've been battling against it for a week now and I must admit I'm stumped. Is there a cure or is a format ind install the only answer now?
