Hi artras,
@Dag:
so Win still boots to some extent ?
- I don’t know if the SFC.exe is present normally on the Win98-system partition; try this first
- if you have/find any more of the CAB files, you migth be able to reinstal/repair from there…
- what about scanreg /restore or similar utilities ?
or try reinstalling the bigger Updates/Servicepacks for Win98
btw: why don’t you have a Win98-CD ?
since repairing wsock32.dll didn't work, I replaced it from the precopy1.cab. Well, actually Avast deleted it upon rebooting and I replaced it.
wsock32.dll is supposed to be the only file that’s easily repairable, just by extracting avast’s backup copy of it from the Chest.
Other files infected by Hybris are impossible/difficult to repair, according to Symantec (see above)
What does the report say about which files were deleted ?
How did you check that user.dat/da0 and msdos.sys are missing ?
from within WIN, or from DOS-Bootdisk ?
If the latter, did you check/change their attributes (-h-s) , o that DIR will see them ?
