Solve : Windows NT with a virus? |
|
Answer» There's not a lot of virus software that supports NT so I finally got a virus of some kind. Now everytime I DIAL into the internet (YES I'm still dialup too) it uploads (something?) until it crashes the computer. My problem is that NT was partitioned and C drive is real small (about 20 MB free), although D has over 2 GB. So most of the software that I'm finding wants to install on C which ends up being too small, or needs to do an online update right away, which crashes the system. I've tried a few programs, but they haven't worked. So, does someone know of some software that can clean the problem from D, or how to repartition the drive without losing data? Currently I have been using a new computer for my internet access which solved the problem, but I would like to get rid of the virus if possible. I know this doesn't answer your questions but if I were you I'd backup the data you need to save & do a clean install with W2K or XP on a LARGER HDD.First of all, it could just be the low disk space causing the problem. Secondly there are virus scanners for NT, just find them. Thridly there are utilities to repartion harddrives but they cost money - a clean format and install would be easiest.Neil and Fed...on target 8-) A HJT log will probably show you what is looking for what.
