Well, I have a sneaking suspicion it's a Windows 98 machine... We still have a lot of those on the network being used as AS/400 terminals. Whenever I try and do anything to it (such as shut it down, etc) it wants a login ID and password, but the login ID is greyed out and has machinename\guest as the username and doesn't accept any password. I tried installing AVG from remote and it wouldn't accept any credentials I gave it.

Set the machine's security policy such that only that one account can log on locally. Force the computer to shut down. By shutting it down, if it's not in active use you get the threat off your network. By disabling logons, whoever tries to use it next will call you. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ No virus found in this incoming message.
