Corrupted Profiles – and more

by aceteach2001 . Updated 20 years, 10 months ago

I’m working with a site containing about 35 machines running Win2K. Since last Wednesday, day by day, about three to five machines are be ing affected by something that is corrutpting user profiles to include creating a desktop background that is totally black, a disconnect from MS Office products (Outlook – on Exchange server – errors out; sometimes Word / Excel are dropped from MS Office Products list in Program files). All machines run NAV and are up to date through live update; scans from Norton’s and McAfee Stinger show no results. Most machines have small amount of spyware but nothing that is outstanding as a common problem. Am wondering if there is an unknown virus / worm being propagated or if some recent download update from MS (such as the Rollup Update for 2K SP4) might be the culprit.

Any ideas?
