i committed the cardinal error, i opened an attachment to an email. norton anti virus said it had a virus, and of the options presented i deleted it. Something has gone pete tong, it seems to have deleted the actual file not the virus. now any file i go to open my PC says it cannot open any "applications" file as it cannot find file "sirC32.exe"
unfortunately i dont have a windows 98 disc or reboot floopy. ALl help very welcome.

for your advice please....

poxy f'ing thing. get over to network associates - they have a spftware patch called scremove that will clean your system. can be done manually but i can't remember all steps here - so it's prbably best to go there and download the fix.

(i had to fix 20 machines with this problem - if you are on a network you may be in for a busy evening!!!)

thanks guys for your replies. well ive done something cos now by PC doesnt say cant open "applications" files it now says "access to the specified device path or file is denied"
the manual instructions seem to run to 5 pages but there arent instructions for windows 98 users, well not that a non computer bod can assertain.
which instructions should i follow?? this is to quote a poxy fing thing!!
cheers in advance

I have the same on a win2k server. Installed CA Anti-virus, did the scan with the latest definitions on install, then did a reboot. Oh whoopee, I get the login screen, I do the login and get a virus detection in WIN32.exe, code red trojan. Clear that message, do ctrl-alt-del to get task manager ,open a new task and can't run anything now saying I have the same sirce32.exe error in my recycle bin. Basically I can't get in! Any ideas?
