re: W32\Pate.dam virus - can't remove w/ Stinger Tuesday, March 23, 2004 at 9:07 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by jcw (5100 messages posted) Interesting because I'm given to understand that the July 2003 MCAFEE Avert's Virex 7.0 definition update (if not before) addressed this virus. See too http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_99690.htm From the location you gave at the end of your 2nd post, it looks like the virus or its remnants lodged in your recycle bin. Can you go into safe mode, and empty your recycle bin, and re-run Stinger (with system restore of course disabled as before)?
