Hi there,

You know, I just re-installed Symantec Anti-Virus, and it detected two
virus:

Trojan.Lodear.C (and)
Trojan.Lodav.B

Cleaned up those two virus', and it's been running fine since then.

The Symantec website description for those two virus' doesn't say anything
about it shutting down Explorer.exe, and yet, the computer is running fine,
now...with one exception...

Something is preventing a connection to the MS Exchange server. I can PING
it by IP or FQDN, but not access it, even to check the username when trying
to set up the user's profile in Outlook.

I tried logging out and logging in as another user, to set a profile up
(mine), and see if I could contact the Exchange 2003 sever then. No luck.

I uninstalled MS Office 2000 with the Office Removal Utility, rebooted,
re-installed MS Office 2000. No go.

I upgraded from MS Office 2000 to MS Office 2003 Pro (Retail Upgrade).
STILL can't make a connection with Exchange Server.

I noted that when I upgraded from Office 2000 to Office 2003, it asked me
which previous versions of Office software I wanted to remove. ALL Office
applications were checked (including Outlook), but Outlook 2000, and Outlook
alone, was "grayed out", so I couldn't make any changes to the checkbox.

Any other ideas?

-David
