Marina,

Back to my virus probs. I think I have the virus under control. But now I
have 2 more problems.

1) I can't download anything from a microsoft site from ANY workstation or
the server. This is only thru IE. If I go thru Firefox, I can get the
downloads. Did the virus hack something that keeps me from doing this.

2) After applying a hotfix to close the W32.LinkBot.A hole, now realscan.exe
is taking up HUGE resources. Running at 95-99% CPU utilization.

Do you have anywhere you can point me.

TIA
Guy
