Graham,
Right. I have a message after Symantec Norton AntiVirus scan
which says I have "W32.Opaserv.exe" installed in Windows/sysbackup/win.ini.
However when briefed by Norton's reaction message, I am invited to delete
"win.ini" but it doesn't happen. I have resorted to several other methods of
detection and I don't think there IS a valid folder "Sysbackup/win.ini".
Perhaps this disease is ethereal and there is nothing but as
ghost message. ....open to flames on this one.
