| 480.2 | NPAD in DRVSPACE.000 | ODIXIE::BIERLEY | | Tue Feb 18 1997 23:22 | 7 |
| I have also been infected with the Winword Npad virus. I am running
sweep 2.94 and had it set up to automatically disinfect files. It
found the virus in normal.dot and says that it took care of that one.
Now it says that I have the same virus on my host drive x: in the file
DRVSPACE.000. I can't let it delete my compressed volume. I tell it
no and it doesn't attempt to repair the file (although I'm not sure I
want sweep to monkey with DRVSPACE.000). Anyone have any ideas?

| I found a second infected file when I booted from a floppy and ran
F-Prot. I deleted the file and when I reran SWEEP on my uncompressed
volume it ran clean. Apparently SWEEP was seeing the footprint when
scanning DRVSPACE.000 but not in the actual file.

| 480.4 | does this virus have residual effects? | PHXSS1::HEISER | Maranatha! | Thu Mar 20 1997 15:31 | 15 |
| I've been seeing this one a lot lately too. On my local siteserver, my
PC, etc. Sweep 2.95 caught them all and disinfected them all.
However, my PC has been acting very strangely since. The Sweep library
doesn't indicate that this is a serious virus, is this true?
Since the discovery, Sweep 2.95 has been acting strangely as well.
Long periods (i.e., 10-30 secs.) of hesitation between mouse clicks
(and this is a Pentium 75). The whole system hangs during this period
and I can't do anything else. Another symptom is losing network access
through the PPP connection.
Is this related or a different problem?
thanks,
Mike

Mike,
If you installed Sweep for Windows 95 from a site server
over a modem connection, you may notice the modem
lights flicker approximately every minute. What Sweep is
doing is probing the site server to see if a new version is
available.
A possible work around is to not impose a heavy load on
the line when using Sweep (eg. preparing to scan a file).
I have not heard of problems with Sweep breaking network
access on a PPP connection, is this a common symptom?
It may just be a poor connection or call waiting kicking in.
Regards,
Arthur
