Try AVG free trial. AVG has found a virus on my PC's when no other program
does.
Good luck.

Subject: [PCSOFT] 100 missing megabytes

Sometime between Wednesday and Thursday I lost about 100MBs in my C drive. I
only had about 250 to start with so it`s a big problem with memory and
running programs...Even updating my Norton AV files is a problem as it fails
if you have less than 150 MBs available. I scanned with my Norton Av
multiple times..scanned online with BitDefender..both turned up nothing.
However a Symantec online scan found Trojan.pova. I ran my Norton AV scan
again w/o finding it. The log in Norton AV on the connections tab indicates
a possible Trojan "Backdoor-g-1". The Symantec site states that many times
this is a false indication of infection or intrusion as the port it
uses(1243) is used for other connections as well. In any case no scan has
found it on my computer either. But I`m not reassured by any of these scans
really! Btw..I`ve also run scandisk and defrag (which prompted me that there
were errors on the disc that had to be repaired before defrag would run) and
all seems normal. Can someone please help? Ideas..suggestions or remedies
are very welcome! I`m running Win98, IE6, on a Dell 400, Pentium2.
