AVG has detected the Win32/Heur and Generic7.AYZT infections. I have
the PC
running again without functional networking and have done a couple of
full
system scans , one clean and the second showing Win32/Heur in fsutil.exe
and
in system volume info restore.

What are my options?

Repairing the OS (not console) results in a bunch of dlls missing which
I
suppose is because I am trying to repair sp2 with the original OS CD.

How can I reinstall a clean OS in C without disturbing the D and E
partions
on the same hard drive or is there a better way?


See Philo's answer, but let me add the following:

You say you have C: D: and E: partitions. What's on D: and E:? If one
of those has your installed programs and you reinstall Windows cleanly
on C:, almost all your installed programs will be useless. With very
few exceptions, installed programs are useless and will not run after
you reinstall Windows. That's because all the registry entries and
ancillary files that they need will be gone.

Thanks Ken,

D: contains software installation files (I always installed software in
C:\Program Files), photos (jpg) and mp3 music. E: contains video stuff,
avi, vob etc. and now backups of OEX mail, news groups, current desk top for
links and both user specific files. All this scans cleanly with AVG.
John.
