Well, a couple of months ago I visited the office where this computer is located and it had NO AV on it. So when I ran Stinger on it, of course it had 147 infected files with various viruses.
So I cleaned it up as best I could and forced the user to install NAV 2004.
I've already tried the bugbear removal tool with system restore turned off and it does not detect them, however, Norton does but cannot repair or delete them. I will have to manually delete the files myself.
I just renamed the backup.cab and backup.$$$ to oldbackup.* and made sure that System Restore opened. So now I am going to delete those old files. Unless of course someone else has a better idea.
I will wait about 15-20minutes for additional responses before making that final decision.
I'm usually good at my own prognosis, but I just love talking to other techies(like myself ) for a second opinion!!
No problem.
You'll be fine going about it the way you are.
Stinger only detects about the "top 30" hot viruses at any given time, so that explains that, and no AV on the machine explains that.
With System Restore disabled, you should have no worries. Good luck.
