The network in question has 3 machines. all of them are windows 98 se.
2 of the 3 machines have the w32.opaserv and w95.dupator virus........
None of the machines had a virus scanner.......
First thing I tried to do was use symantec's removal tool for the opaserv virus... I downloaded it, started in safemode, and ran it.
I also had applied the microsoft security patch that was recommended with the tool on both machines.
After the tool had finished, it said that the infection had been removed from the systems.
I then rebooted, and tried to install Norton Anti-virus 2002 professional.
Norton installs, then it reboots when done installing, and when windows tries to come back up, the machine locks up at the windows 98 screen...
This happened on all 3 machines.
loaded into safe mode
I tried uninstalling/reinstalling......... no effect.
I ran an online virus scan and it found 10-11 files infected....
the opaserv one's were just some ini files, but the dupator files where ::
notepad.exe, kernel32.dll, msconfig.exe, spool32.exe
I tried restoring a fresh copy of these, then restarting. Still i cannot install norton antivirus.
Any ideas on the best way to remove these viruses and get norton installed?
