Boot into safe mode with command prompt, run the command line scanner
and have it scan and disinfect your whole machine.
Restart normally and _before connecting to the Internet_ either disable
file and print sharing, or if you really _must_ leave it enabled, at
least unbind it from any TCP/IP interfaces that connect to the Internet.
If you only have one network interface, say because you have an Ethernet
interface that plugs into a cable or DSL router or mini-hub-cum-router)
and "need" to retain F&PS (because you have another PC and want to share
files/printers across the LAN) then you must enable IPX or NetBEUI (on
both PCs) and bind F&PS to that _only_ (though few, if any, "consumer
market" cable or DSL devices will handle anything but TCP/IP you may
want to make sure that yours doesn't route IPX if you choose that
protocol for your LAN's F&PS).
As protocol and service binding and unbinding is dynamic in Win2K you
may not need to restart after doing all that (although, if you have to
add either of those protocols to your config you may have to restart).
If you do need to restart, do so and test the LAN connections all work
before going back on the Internet. Also check that any other machines
on the LAN that share the Internet connection do not have F&PS bound to
their TCP/IP interfaces. Once you are happy the LAN is all working
fine, try conencting to the Internet -- you should not have any more
problems with those viruses reappearing.
Finally, you should set meaningful passwords on _all_ accounts on your
Win2K machine, as those things initially got to you because you were
exposed to the Internet via F&PS (which we've just fixed) _AND_ because
you have really lame-arse passwords on your admin account(s).
