When i logon to net and open IE 5.0 window, after some time suddenly a window opens up giving some memory address reference with two buttons to Cancel and OK.
After this, i can not see files in the folders WINNT and Program Files. But Status bar shows no. of files in the folder.
Also Search file/folder tool can not be utilised as if it gets deactivated.
some links inside the explorer window gets deactivated and can not be clicked for opening in new window.especially those which are having JavaScript associted for execution.
I feel it's a virus. How to identify and disinfect? is there any tool to do this other than Antivirus softwares ?
(o/s: win 2k server sp2 installed. IE 5.0)
thanx in adv.
 
Hi,

I would run a spyware checker such as Ad-Aware or Spybot over the server if it only comes up after you run IE.
However I would also run a good up to date virus checker over the server.
