all programs stopped dead

[Bonkom]

We recently contracted a variant of the Nimda virus on another computer and have used Mcafee Proffessional v6.0 to clear it all up, the problem i have is that now when i try and open any applications including but not limited to all MS Office, Goldmine(contact management software), and various other programs that we are still finding we gett an error message saying

"program path" is not a valit Win32 application.


PLease chan anyone help we are in a desperate situation.

You should've really posted this in the virus forum...but i'm kind so I'll offer some help...

This is a link to Symantecs Help on removal and treatment of Nimda infected machines.

I've always used symantec and never had any problems. I'm not familiar with McAfee so cannot comment on its reliablility.

Ok thanks for info, I have managed to get rid of the virus but it has left my system in a mess when i try to open a few of my applications it still says that it is not a valid win32 application. Is there anyone that knows what i can do to sort this??
