« on: April 07, 2005, 12:55:41 PM »
I'v been trying to recover from Antiexe virus in boot :you are suppose to be able to run FDISK/MBR but I can't get this dog to hunt any hints out there . for some reason  I can not change dirs and make my system stay in that dir I can change the directory  on C: but it will just bounce back to A:
:o :o

    There is a removal method in this post from Symantec .....
    The boot disk you are trying to use must be infected ........

    If you don't know the answer, it isn't a dumb question.

    thank you for the help finally got the thing out of Boot partition forced new system disk from DOS 6.2 removed a hard disk in old lap top force single disk DOS load and ran FDISK/MBR from disk I didn't think it worked because it only took a second and didn't come up with expected screen or warning rebooted checked with McAfee emscan and bingo ANTIEXE was gone . rebooted and expected to start from scratch but system booted right to last config and after save mode recovery of reg I had my computor back just like before nice trick FDISK/MBR

    This is a great form I had every dos book I had out and though the links found here solved  at least  three separate system problems THANKS  ONE HAPPY CAMPER- Now I can get back to John TITOR and the other important stuff. Anyone with IBM5100 laying around think unix ;D ;D ;D ;D
