In need of help...

Morning people. I've installed Win2K to my other older computer, which i rebuilt. Everything works perfect except that even if i had proper firewall and antivirus-software installed - some virus got in.

I have found very little info about this virus, google seems to know basicly nothing about it. Here's some info:

Path: /system32/symon.exe

Here it is, atleast it seems that way. But you can't see it, not even as hidden file. Can't terminate the process. It eats 100% of the CPU.

I've ran anti-virus and spyware -software, but found nothing. It's running but i can't do anything to close it down.

Here's some info i found last night: Click

Seems like it's mostly messing with registry.


Anyway, if there's someone who've had this problem, please tell me how to get rid of it.

uninstall norman and get decent antivirus.
I have AVG, i believe it's one of the best. Atleast out of all the progs i've tried.
I just found that page via Altavista.
