Another problem I seem to have:
Windows NT 4.0 SP2 on a 486 66 w/ 32Meg of memory and the IBM
AntiVirus 2.5.2.
The IBM AntiVirus was actually put on almost 2 weeks ago after
I had put up PATHWORKS 32. I got this message about 4 days after
it was put on (on the boot when I get in in the morning):
IBM AntiVirus Notification
There are 1243 infected files referenced by the IBM AntiVirus
database. It is recommended that you run IBM AntiVirus to take
action on these files.
If I run the AntiVirus right then and there I would get no
viruses found yet I would get this message:
Access UNC
Viruses have found in these objects. Please map these UNC names
to a drive and scan for viruses to clean up these files.
The files would displayed as uninterpreted characters like this:
...
yyy
.. ..
u |U|q|A ^
I did not do the select and remove of these files since I
didn't know which ones they were.
If I did run the AntiVirus manually I got no viruses found and
didn't get the Access UNC with the files displayed as uninterpreted
characters.
After some deliberation at the customer site I pulled off PATHWORKS
and then the AntiVirus. I re-installed the AntiVirus and it ran
fine after the installation (that was on Monday). Yesterday I
started to make a DOS bootable floppy and had the machine crashing
and it rebooted fine. This morning I added the hotfix described
in note 5818 (I think that's the number) and have been busy
crashing and rebooting. I also upped my page file size as I got
a message about insufficient virtual memory on boot. Then I went
to re-boot again. That's when I got a message like above where
472 files are infected. It was about the time I had scheduled a
daily run of the AntiVirus. I found the same symptoms. If I
start the AntiVirus from the message displayed then it finds
no viruses but does display the Access UNC with the files displayed
as uninterpreted characters. If I do it manually no viruses are
found and I don't get the Access UNC message.
We were thinking there might be a conflict with the AntiVirus and
PATHWORKS 32 -- now I don't think so.
Anyone else seen anything like this? Anyone have any ideas as
to what might be going on? Or where I can look for assistance?
I did try the IBM AntiVirus web site and didn't see anything
there (that was last week or earlier this week).
Appreciating any assistance!

| 5825.1 | Even though manual AntiVirus ok, re-boot suggests not | CHOWDA::GLICKMAN | writing from Newport,RI | Thu Mar 20 1997 10:49 | 3 |
BTW, just now on another re-boot after the manual AntiVirus worked
fine I got the IBM AntiVirus Notification message again about the
472 files...
