I use VNC to remotly access a W2K server.
A week ago the connection started dropping during periods of inactivity.
A scan (Spybot, Adaware, and Norton Corporate eddition) revealed a number of viruses/malware, including pokapoka and a number of w32 worms.
These have all been sucessfuly been removed (I hope) using a combination of Spybot, Adaware, Norton and AVG.
However although AVG identified and removed the mswi32.pif Trojan, it still reappears.
Have tried the following in Safe mode: AVG, Norton, Spybot and Adaware.
Surprisingly I have not found any info on the mswi32.pif processes which is MR.

Have tried looking at the mswi32.pif file on the system32 folder but it closes explorer when I try.

Any help would be greatly appriciated.
