Thanks a lot for all helps..
Yes just simply to delete the file explored.exe contained the virus 
W32.HllW.Gaobot.gen. all clients were not affected
cause it is on linux so Norton can not delete it. I manually delete it 
in /home/pub (or \\server\shares [samba])
anyway, i am trying to install a antivirus for my linux. Thanks for all 
hints concerned w/ GUI but I dunt use GUI, just ssh (puTTY) from my XP 
to control slackwareBox.
panic! for some essential docs are in XPclients :-(, now got a backup 
for all those stuffs
cheers,
dieu
