252088 2004-07-12 23:55:00 Update your antivirus software, and try to remove it using that.

I have not been able to find info on your virus - how did you find the name of the virus in the first place?

252090 2004-07-13 14:31:00 If you don't have them already download, install the update Spybot S&E ( . safer-networking . org/en/index . html" target="_blank">www . safer-networking . org) 1 . 3 and Adaware (http://www . lavasoftusa . com/), look for the free version . In Spybot, run it in advanced mode, use the immunise feature and enable the Teatimer .

Do you have a firewall installed? If not get Zone Alarm ( . zonelabs . com/store/content/company/products/znalm/freeDownload . jsp" target="_blank">www . zonelabs . com) (free) or Kerio ( . kerio . com/kpf_home . html" target="_blank">www . kerio . com) they will prevent it calling out and any inward communication to it .

You may need other tools but start with these .

It's actually 'Spybot S&D'. 'S&D'= Seasrch and Destroy, because it searches out and destroys spybots.
I hope I'm not being to negative. Vince
