can't delete Hacktool.Rootkit
Help. I have tried every stinking virus removal program you can find and although most of them find the virus,Hacktool.Rootkit, non of them can get rid of it. I have heard that my only true safe option is to reinstall the OS (Windows 2000) and move on. I have files I dont want to risk losing. What now???? Help!

To the best of my knowlede (and googles. lmao) win2k doesn't have system restore...

http://216.239.59.104/search?q=cache...re+win2k&hl=en

.. but I note that this page mentions the possibility of something like Norton making a backup of the file in case you are encountering such a problem.

Otherwise, I would probably suggest that you skip the system restore bits, and see where it get's you.

There's no SysRest in W2K.
Ignore the XP-specific instructions and follow the rest.
