The virus seems to have attached itself to the Kernel32.dll file and is attaching itself to any process which the computer runs, including Avast.exe. This is happening in Windows 98 withouth any security updates. My best guess is that it was uploaded through a win98 backdoor which would have been closed had the operator known to download the security updates from microsoft. I have not tried a bootscan with avast, but it would not clean any files during a regular scan. I will be working on this problem in the morning and would appreciate any other info that you could give me, aka: dos removal programs. Thank you for your help
