2. Here you go

Whenever Norton finds a virus and can't fix it (100% of the time)I go there and do the online scan, it finds the virus and fixes it

3. free online scan

it works pretty well, but honestly i've had a worm before and it took me a week to finally be rid of it.


i'd say google and use every trojan killer you can find.

4. boot
with a clean boot disk. type fdisk /mbr this will clean the master boot record on the drive. when you've booted to this boot floppy you will have access to the files so you can delete them

6. Have a look at Zondex - www.zondex.com
It's sold in Australia, Asia and Europe, developed for the London Metropolitan Police, can be downloaded on the web. It's first-rate - killed 143 worms in my system after a year of Useless Norton.

fdisk /mbr from the A prompt after that you can delete the files. give me a list and I'll look up the removal instructions for you as well as the registry locations.
