See if you can get any of the systems over to Panda's online virus scan for another scan.
I've had Panda pick up things Housecall missed completely.

Win2K service pack issues/virii?
Hello everyone.
Ok, got an interesting little puzzle. I searched the net far-n-wide, but haven't yet found the EXACT same set of symptoms.
Win2K, after all latest updates have gone through. All running an AV of some sort.
Out of no where:
- Control Panel's icons show up on far left of the CP window, with a scroll bar (almost like looking at a website with frames).
- Add/Remove Programs is now empty
- Unable to send mail through any client (get a low system memory error-on a base load of Win2K with 512MB's RAM in one case)
- Unable to add printer (getting system resources low error)
- Unable to get to windowsupdate.MS.com (page comes up as a blank)
- all non-essential windows programs cease to function (all get a low system memory error--Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Windows Media Player, ICQ etc) except for IE/Notepad/Word. Stranger note on this one is that all other MS Office products won't work except for Word??
-Symantecs NAV ceases to function. Live update doesn't try to connect, and the interface to start a manual scan becomes null/blank.
Was able to perform a AV scan from housecall.AV.com, which brings up a clean result.
So far, 6 machines: 4 at work, mine at home, and a clients laptop, have all had these EXACT same symptoms in the last month. Only fix was to format so far. Now I'm sitting on the clients laptop, everything already backed up and scanned for virii.....
Has anyone seen this? Is there an easy fix? The laptop was JUST loaded with Win2K 2 weeks ago! Is this viral, or an issue with one of the Service Packs/Updates from M$
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
