Dear Michael: Upon your advice , I downloaded Norton antivirus program and ran a full system scan. Sadly to say, my system does have a virus called W32.Badtrans.B@dd . The following items are infected : winnt\system32\kdll.dll , winnt\system32\kernel32.exe . Michael , I know I have to delete these files , but how or where do I replace these essential files ? I have the original Windows2000 Prof Cd, but I don't know how to extract these 2 particular files from the CD since most files are Cab files. Can you advise me how to proceed before I delete these files . Thank you sincerely, cc P.S. I hope this helps others on this message board who were so misfortunate . It's ashamed someone would purposely use this PD message board to inflict harm to others.
