ZMist.A virus - how to locate?

Hi,
F-Prot Antivirus (on Win98SE) frequently tells me it detected ZMist.A in my memory (this seems to be a very advanced virus that integrates itself in program code). My problem is, if after a clean bootup I run a full disk scan, F-Prot will NOT find any ZMist-infected file on my disk. So this makes cleaning up a bit difficult!
I've searched the web, but nowhere (not on the F-Prot site or anywhere else) I could find any info on what to do in the case of a ZMist infection. But I did find some info about other scanners (Kaspersky) giving false ZMist alerts, so I'm wondering if F-Prot might also be giving just a false alarm.
Is there anyone around here who can tell me more about what to do in the case of a ZMist infection?
Thanks, Henk

Symantec does have an article about this. You might also try a trojan program from Agnitum's site or any other site you might like. All the best!

No additional information.
