Virus/Trojan question

Virus/Trojan question



I am working on a friend's PC (Windows 2k Pro. w/sp 1) and I believe he has
a virus or trojan. Can anyone help me identify the culprit? Here are the
symptoms:



1. I can not see ANY files or folders in C:\Winnt or below (although the
task bar says that there are 142 objects in C:\Winnt).



2. I get the following error msg.: "Svchost.exe has generated errors and
will be closed by Windows. You will need to restart the program".



3. The Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service then stops.



4. Norton Antivirus is installed, up to date and running.



Anyone know of a virus or trojan that have these characteristics? I
remember once someone was able to drop a single file into my ftproot folder
and I was no longer able to see any of my files remotely. However, once I
removed that one file everything was okay again.



Thanks for any and all help.

I have the same trojan and have no idea how to fix it. It has infested my
network.
