ManxTrialSpaz Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 There's nothing left for you now. You're going to have to go to a mac!Or run AVG. It should find the uinfected file, then you can put that into google and with a bit of looking about, you should find the location of the virus/worm whatever, which you should then be able to delte in safe mode Mde sense in my head as I've had to do it before...

Si-man Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 (edited) Do a virus scan in safe mode.Wont be able to install itself back onto the computer thenOh, and when i got a version of that virus, it was that bad i had to do a fresh install or XP, just preparing you for the worst.But, with mine i couldnt actually get on the computer without it logging me out or changing settings.
