lghff.exe?
Last response: in Windows 95/98/ME
Ok, I installed Norton AntiVirus 2002 on windows 98(not se). After a restart (and getting around the TDIMSYS bug), NAV said it had found a virus in lghff.exe and wanted to quarrantine it. I let it, and then it wanted to restart. After restart I couldn't run any programs (except, I discovered if you double click a file it's associated program would open up, that is how I am on the net now).
Problem is I can't format and I can't get anything to run to let me backup. Is lghff.exe a normal part of windows, or did this virus try to take over for something? (looking at file associations applications are associated with the exe, you can't edit it).
If it is not a normal part of windows (I'm not sure, I don't have every windows file memorized), how can I get programs running again?
Thanks
One last thing, the only virus scanner I could find that I could run was the online NAV thing and it didn't find anything, so it looks like I am virus free.

Was the name of the virus that Norton detected called SirCam? Check out this link:

You can't delete the partitions on the disk, and then format, using a floppy boot disk?
If all else fails, you could post a message on the Service and Support forum and attempt to get an answer out of Symantec Technical Support.
I'm not sure what the "lghff.exe" file is ... but no, it is not a Windows file.

Sounds to me exactly what I had, though it said the virus was unknown. I ran the web based antivirus and it said I was clean, so it's just this registry key that wasn't fixed.
I'm not sure if it was the same worm, or some bastard child of sircam. All it did was create the file lghff.exe on my drive and associate applications with it.
