OS: Win2000

Comment:
we have 15 system network and one server.
alos running SQL Server 2000 on sever. we just discovered that we have virus on network
we got nortorn 2002 antivirus installed at a few computers which gave us virus alert and we tried running the antivirus at the infected computer but it does not seem to work. I just want to know which antivirus would solve the problem without infecting the data. I would like to know what kind of damage this (folder.htt /bloodhound.unknown) would do to the network? Or will it infect or distroy any kind of information related to the DataBase? All Help would be appreciated, Thanks

I can't guarantee it applies in your case but Norton is infamous for false-reporting of the bloodhound virus when certain changes to the MBR are made. I would remove Norton and install anything else to see if it is a true virus infection.

just delete the files and you should be free of them. folder.htt is used by windows and doesn't do much. it is generated when you change the view settings of your folder so that when you open that same folder again, it will display in the setting you specified before. The error happens when you copied files from your back-up disk or hard disk to your new hard disk or folders from your old OS with a folder.htt file on it. Norton detects it as a virus and then displays an error message that the file cannot be repaired. All you have to do is find that file and delete it. It is a hidden file so you have tp set your windows explorer option to view all files.
