netsky p

[RichP]

Any suggestions on how to remove the netsky p virus from a windows2k with netscape as the mail client. Got two email messages in the inbox but norton cannot fix them, I can't get at any of the other emails in the inbox and I'm getting ticked off, $%@#$ WINDOWS..... that box is gettin paved over with solaris and I'm moving this one to my desk.... :firedevil

Best luck I've had is running Hijackthis . Once you get a log of the findings, you can post the log here to find out what you need to remove safely.

This has been the best tool I've found for finding and deleting virus nastys....

What version netscape? If it's one of them that uses the "mbox" mail-storage format, you might be able to disable your virus scanner (don't worry, it'll be safe), open up the mbox file with Notepad and just delete the offending mesages, encoded attachments and all.

Got tired of playing with it, finishing up the final setup on this linux box now and will be paving over the 2k box sometime this week. Just need to wait for the staroffice cd I ordered today to get here.
