Good afternoon. A friend of mine is running Win98. He called the other day stating he was infected with the Blood Hound virus. When he ran nortons he deleted WININET file. Is there a way to recover file without reloading windows ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated..

Should be on the CD in a CAB file (winzip can open these). Don't know which cab file it's in though so you'll just have to open them till you find it. Also, you'll need to know which folder to extract it to. Since I no longer use Win9x I can't help you there.

I have someone looking for 98 machines infected with wininet.dll. Are you still having problems with his?

[waterbanshee]

Yes his system is still infected... Its not easy trying to walk him through it over the phone and to make matters worse I haven't run WIN98 in years.

He isn't looking for it anymore and since it's already gone.

I managed to clean system with info I collected throughout this forum however I have one Dump question for anyone who can answer it. After cleaning system and upgrading to XP somehow I converted his desk to into a tool bar tab
Is there a way to get ICONS back on the back ground ?

desk to into a tool bar tab

I don't quite understand. Some malware changes the appearance of the desktop, so if you want to post a log just to make sure you got all of it, I'll take a look at it.

[waterbanshee]

All ICONS on desk top are only accessable by clicking small tab on tool bar. I somehow changed the desktop settings I just can't remeber what I changed.

I think I'd feel better if you gave me a hijack this log. Look in my signature for instructions. Post it in this thread and then I'll move it from this thread ito the malware section for me to work on.
