Norton 2003

[computercare]

I am trying to remove a virus from a computer running Windows 98 for a friend, using Norton 2003, and I keep getting this box:
cannot find sirC32.exe file, This file is needed for opening files of type "Application".
It won't even let me in, in Safe Mode. I could really use some help, any info would be great.....

Sounds like you have already removed some of the Sircam virus files and now you are not able to run .exe files. Your best bet is to run the Sircam removal tool from symantec.

You'll need to do this manually:

1) Click START|RUN, type

COMMAND /C COPY %WINDIR%\REGEDIT.EXE %WINDIR%\REGEDIT.COM
and hit ENTER
2) Click START | RUN, type regedit.com and hit ENTER
3) Remove references to the virus from this registry key
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\open\command\
It should contain only the value (not including brackets) : ["%1" %*]
4) Delete the following registry keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
RunServices\Driver32
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Sircam

... take my advice, I don't use it anyway!
