    Thanks. Seen that but would prefer an on-access scanner, if there is one.

    you could try this (its Free):

    http://download.cnet.com/Comodo-Antivirus/3000-2239_4-75181385.html

    never used it myself, supports Windows 2000

    Yes, Service Pack 4 on all of them - one Server and four Professional.

    ClamWin did install but did not detect the virus I am having problems with.

    AVG does detect it on XP but will not install on 2000.

    I'm chasing the bloody thing round the network.

    Going to be very hard to get a modern anti virus to install on 2000.
    I'd opt for a bootable avg recovery disk with the latest definitions

    Tried the AVG Rescue Disk. Wouldn't run. Will try Kaspersky boot.
