This was my original posting however I placed in the incorrect section of the forum:
Good Day. I'm a new user to the forum and suspect my PC's infected with some type of virus. I'm running Win 2000 Pro w/Service Pack 4 on a Dell PC. I am unable to get on to the internet, however I can receive my email via Outlook. I have a "Windows Installer" message on the screen each time I try to go into My Computer or IE. It is showing "Preparing to install..." and that's as far as it goes.

Virus? Since there is no MS Config in 2000, other than fragging the drive, is there a way to check for a virus? I'm using AVAST and it is not detecting any viruses.

Any assistance is appreciated! Thank you

Mike
