Hi all,<br />
<br />
I have an issue with a Worm that has caused me quite a headache. I have an agent that has downloaded the newest version of the W32 Worm on their personal computer which is running Windows 2000. I have worked with McAfee to remove this little bug, but I have not been fully able to fix the issue. As far as I can tell I have removed this obnoxious devil, but when the computer is on for more than just a few minutes I lose the ability to connect to the internet. I can neither ping anu outside IP addresses and I get a page can not be found error when I use internet explorer. To add insult to injury if I restart some critical services I am able to reconnect to the internet; sometimes. I have been working under the administrator account and the agent's account. The same situation arrises in both accounts. Any wise insight would be greatly appreciated.<br />

W32 Worm is killing a Windows 2000 machine

Anti-virus software was originally developed to detect and remove computer viruses. However, with the proliferation of other kinds of malware, antivirus software started to provide protection from other computer threats. In particular, modern antivirus software can protect from malicious browser helper objects (BHOs), browser hijackers, ransomware, keyloggers, backdoors, rootkits, trojan horses, worms, malicious layered service providers (LSPs), dialers, fraud tools, adware and spyware. Some products also include protection from other computer threats, such as infected and malicious URLs, spam, scam and phishing attacks, online identity theft (privacy), online banking attacks, social engineering techniques, Advanced Persistent Threat (APT), botnets and DDoS attacks.

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
