There isn't one in Windows 2000.
You said you thought your XP partition was infected.
If there is a virus/worm in XP and you have "System
Restore" enabled (in ME as well), you need to turn it
off, scan/clean the infection & then re-enable system
restore, otherwise you reinfect your own PC.
2K has no such animal. You can use ERUNT to back up
your registry in 2K/XP/NT:

The best protection is not to open any email from
anyone you don't know and even then it is not unusual
for someone to "spoof" someone else's address and send
you spam/worm/virus with that address, even your very
own.
I've used AVG for 6 yrs. and never got a false
positive.YMMV.

Computers make very fast, very accurate mistakes.
