Windows 2000 Server with strange virus

I have a windows 2000 server that was infected with bat_batten.a virus

This is the best I can tell what it was.
It would not allow workstations to connect to any share on the server nor
would it connect to any share on any workstation.

I went through the entire list of registry edits and followed all the directions
of deleting and editing. This seemed to fix the majority of the problem, however,
the server still can't connect to its own share.

For example
if you type \\servername in  the run box
and it brings up all the shares
if you double click on one, it will tell you "network path not found".

any input would very much appreciated!!!!

Is the virus gone? did you delete the 1.reg that were dropped in the windows folder?

It won't hurt to try and run SDFix even if you're not infected, the tool restores disabled reg entries.
It repairs the damage caused by Bot variants and restores the HOSTS file to MS Default, removes DisableRegistryTools/TaskManager restrictions and Policy Run Keys if present.

Download SDFix and save it to your desktop.


Please then reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following :

* Restart your computer
*  Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu with options should appear;
*  Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode, then press "Enter".
*  Choose your usual account.

*  Open the extracted folder and double click "RunThis.bat" to start the script.
*  Type "Y" to begin the script.
*  It will remove the Trojan Services then make some repairs to the registry and prompt you to press any key to Reboot.
*  Press any Key and it will restart the PC.
*  Your system will take longer that normal to restart as the fixtool will be running and removing files.
*  When the desktop loads the Fixtool will complete the removal and display "Finished", then press any key to end the script and load your desktop icons.
