w32/kris virus??

Have you updated you anti-virus definitions recently, and do you have e-mail scanning enabled? This virus certainly should have been detected, if those requirements have been met.

Mike,

You can download a removal tool from the Symantec website.

DELL Dimension L733r
192 MB RAM
20 GB HD
8x4x32x LG CDRW
56k Voice/Fax Modem
Motorola SB4100 Cable Modem (USB)
OS : W98SE

The first thing I'd try would be a "second opinion" regarding the virus possibility, via the link below. If that comes back negative, there may be other possibilities from there.

thank you both for your help.
here's the error message that i got when updating Sierra Imaging,while in Picture IT:Vsmon has caused an error in kernel 32.dll Vsmon will now close.
I then went to the microsoft web site,which gave me the w32/kris virus info.
The odd thing is that i run both NAV and Zone Alarm,i constantly check for updates and install when prompted.
I went to the symantec web site,just minutes ago to download the patch and they did a automatic scan and of course it found NO VIRUSES in any of my files.
Now i'm really confused.
Any Ideas??
Thanks for your help,mike

thanks goonboy,
i scanned my computer using pc-cillin,as you recommened and in the middle of the scan,my NAV popped up with an alert saying tha a virus was detected"c:\windows\temp\v3n01qa91435
w32.nimda.A@mm[dr]."
I quarentined the virus.then pc-cillin finished it's scan and found no viruses. this is very strange? what happened to the kris virus? Why did pc-cillin not find my new nimda virus?
Again, any help would be greatly appreciated, i'm new on the computer and have only had it about 3 months, so please bear with me,thanks

I'd recommend reviewing both of the links below, and taking whatever removal advice/instructions they offer. The removal tool for w32/kriz does not repair files that have been damaged by the virus, but you need to get them off of there first, and worry about cleaning up the damage afterwards.

Once you've followed the removal steps, you'll want to scan again (I'd recommend a manual scan via Norton, and another House Call scan), and see what you get then. Post back if questions.
