This was previously the last post in a topic I started in the wrong
group. David Lipman suggested I use Multi-AV to clean some "leftovers"
from a virus/adware/malware infection.
I tried to test Multi-AV in normal mode on a Win98SE system.
The results were as follows:
McAfee reported an error:
-----------
File C:\AV-CLS\MCAFEE\RWABS16.DLL has failed its integrity check
and no scan was performed.
Kaspersky reported an error:
---------------
Can't open avp.set. Do you want to insert diskette with this file?
with buttons reading [ OK ] and [ Cancel ]
Since I have no diskette with this file, I clicked on [Cancel], and no
scan was performed.
Trend reported some error, but so quickly I could not read it.
--------
There was no record of an error in the log(s), and no scan was
performed.
Sophos: I selected only the \windows folder to be scanned.
-----------
It completed in approx. 30 mins, and found no threats.
Can David or anyone help me solve these problems?
Regards,
John Gross

You may have some hardware problems. I'd check the RAM first as it's the
easiest.
http://www.memtest.org/
Run memtest86+ for at least several hours. Overnight is better. If the
memory checks out OK I'd test the hard drive next.

John:
Sorry you are having problems.
Please downloaded the latest version.
http://www.ik-cs.com/programs/virtools/Multi_AV.exe
From the main menu try to download; Mcafee, Trend Sysclen and and Kaspersky
again.
At the minimum, Sophos worked. If teh above continue to fail, you should scan
the entire
system with Sophos.

Hi David,
Thanks for your continued advice.
With the new version, all the downloads - except from Sophos - appeared
to have some problems, which were retried and reported too quickly for
me to note down the symptoms.
In normal mode, I tried running the scans for all of them:
Sophos ran for 100 mins before I decided to quit it. The fairly
frequent interactions it needs from the keyboard (I described them in
my earlier thread) makes it rather impractical to run a full scan...
overnight, say.
McAfee reported an error:
File C:\AV-CLS\MCAFEE\RWABS32.DLL has failed its integrity check.
Kaspersky reported an error:
Can't open avp.set. Do you want to insert diskette with this file?
I cancelled this, since I have no such diskette.
Trend reported an error (I had to try twice to note it down, because it
left it on the screen only briefly):
C:\av-cls\trend\pattern.txt not opened for read, error code [0]
Any further suggestions? I really would like to do these multi-scans,
to reassure myself that the infected laptop is as clean as I can make
it before connecting it to the internet again.
Regards,
John Gross
