orangeman,

Let's start with this...



Go to www.trendmicro.com, and then:

1. Click " Free Online Scan".
2. Click " Scan now, it's free".

It'll take a few minutes to download (especially with a dialup connection), so be patient. When it's down:

1. Select all available drives.
2. Check(tick) " Auto Clean".
3. Click " Scan".

When it completes, post back the full filename of any files that cannot be cleaned or deleted.



Download mwav.exe from MicroWorld, then:

1. Double-click the mwav.exe icon to run it ( it'll self extract).
2. Click " Scan".
3. When it completes, post back the results from the 'Virus log information' pane.

orangeman,
 
Try it and see; both browsers are based on the mozilla engine, and will probably use Java instead of ActiveX.
 
Let me know if it works.

You may need to use IE.

Strangely enough, the Java-based scanner from TrendMicro-Europe seems to work correctly with Win2K SP3, FireFox (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0), and Java JRE 1.5.0.
