I had a virus on the network last week, it was a worm and it had the word dung in it...cant remember its name.

 

Anyhoo, Sophos shifted it but its left something behind as im getting error messages on startup that it cant find other.exe and win.exe.

 

I've had a quick check of the registry for any entries but failed to find any.....any other suggestions? :confused:

Might try msconfig... sometimes it flags up stuff that I don't see in registry.

 

Failing that, I'd have a look through Autoruns

Tried pretty much everything that has been suggested, nothing looks out of place in the registry. Bloody pain in the bum virus!!!

cleary not as stubborn as the virus is lol

 

you disabled system restore before doing all these scans - also doing them in safe mode helps

I'm pretty sure you'd of completed re-imaging by now ;) But seriously if you can save yourself some time then re-image where you can.

 

re image would be a lot easier - once you get it working again and how you like it just make an image of that

As the saying goes - take a photo - it lasts longer :D
