I have been batteling the W32.Randex worm for a while now. It's wrecked all sorts of havoc on my machine and has lead me to decide it's nuke time for the harddrive. Unfortunatly, that's at least two weeks away in my current time crunch.

The virus and it's irc payloads have done various goodies. Any attempt to scan with adaware or spybot invokes a system reboot for starters. hijack this can't find any services that don't belong. If a full system scan with Norton is run, it cuases a buffer overflow. Most hilariously, Norton is reporting that NavW32.exe and Symantic32.exe are both infected with Randex. The machine is regularly crashing at this point and crashing again on startup.

After one such crash while attempting to load the taskbar programs tonight, upon restart, there was no trash folder in Outlook. Hitting the Delete key produces no action whatsoever. I tried creating a folder called Trash (with capitalization), but Outlook still cannot delete emails anymore. At this point I'm thinking "Cute...".

Anyone have any idea how to bring back my outlook trash?
