Thanks guys for all the replys. Here's full story. When he brought me the box it wouldnt get on internet, finally determined that the isp had shut his account off. I have a small 9 box inhouse network
using linux smoothwall on one old box to act as gateway, firewall and inhouse router, any way I knew that winders virus wouldnt bother it, so I turned all my boxes off except smoothwall box set the client box up to use lan to ac ess internet and away we go. Yes I use inhouse (or tried to) this box is so hosed up. To ans number I didnt review all the files that pccillin found. It reported 124 infected files (mainly appeared to be exe type files) there
were 4 different worms reported being found. Inhouse didnt find any of them. I had a 2001 copy of norton tried loading that on the box, took several tries, but then it wouldnt run after being loaded. Finally as said before hooked to one of my win2kpro boxes that I had just updated the virus file on, it is the one that found all the worms which was bout 3am this morn, during all this time the box has to be rebooted if you looked at it bad. It is a Compaq presario 5151 with 96meg ram and a quantum hdd win 98se as the os. I even thought heat was getting to cpu and and causing the crashes. Any way taking everything into account I called him back and told him to come and get it. I think that a low level format is the only way to cure this booger, mainly because of all the problems I think is there that I didnt see. Thanks for your suggestions.
