Yesterday at Work (I work for Nissan in Cyprus), two of our PCs were switched on but did not function at all ie.proceed to loading Windows 95 - they just power up and do nothing!

At lunchtime, when I went home I turned on my Pentium II PC, and found the same problem ie. turns on but doesn't do nothing and the on/off switch doesn't work in turning the PC on or off, only reset works but that the PC still doesn't proceed.

We contacted our Computer Service people and they told us that that particular day, viruses were sent out to some PCs, destroying the H/D partitions!!!

Can anybody help me please....

Thanks,
Nick.

Grab this tool to clean off PC!

download the KILL_CIH tool at his web address:

http://www.sarc.com/avcenter/kill_cih.html

The KILL_CIH tool safely detects and removes
all known strains (as of August 3rd, 1998) of
the W95.CIH (Chernobyl) virus from memory under
Windows 95 and Windows 98. If you run this
tool before the virus infects your system, the
tool will "inoculate" the computer's memory to
prevent the W95.CIH virus from infecting your system
until the next system reboot.

NOTE:
If you are already infected with the W95.CIH
virus, run the KILL_CIH tool first before you try
to update your antivirus definitions or scan your
system.

If you try to scan with an antivirus product without
first running this tool, you run the risk of spreading
the infection. Once you have used this tool, you can
safely update your Norton AntiVirus definitions and
scan your machine.

NOTE:
The KILL_CIH tool will not detect or remove the W95.CIH
virus from files. It will disable the virus in memory
so an antivirus program can remove the infection without
inadvertently spreading the virus.
