To remove the virus/worm from your computer follow the instructions in the following Symantec article:
I-Worm/Stator-A (securityresponse.symantec.com)

Cheers, Babe.

92691 2002-10-24 22:16:00 Has the file been placed in quarantine by the AVG?:) raddersnz (684)
92692 2002-10-24 23:01:00 the virus was in system restore files and i removed it from there..avg says there is no virus on the computer now..tried deleting from shared folder no joy.. looked at symatic site thats a bit beyond me sorry ... johnboy (217)
92693 2002-10-24 23:02:00 It apears from what you say AVG has fixed your computer but cannot delete the original file. As I suggested before try deleting in safe mode, as I have found that files that can't be deleted will delete in safe mode.
I would then go to the symantec site and do an online virus scan, and see what comes up.

92694 2002-10-24 23:42:00 TRied safe mode still there..in program files you can click the short cut and the kazaa screen shows up but with no files e.g audio, image , but when i goto the shared folder theres songs and images and this pokemon one . the rest start to delete untill it comes to this one then stops... johnboy (217)
92695 2002-10-24 23:59:00 Did you try to reinstall kazaalite over top then uninstall ? Shiloh (2288)
92696 2002-10-25 00:09:00 I have come across this sort of thing a couple of times.

Ok, you have tried Safe Mode and usually but not always it will work. In your case it appears not to have.

Open Windows Explorer and try and drag the file to another folder and delete from there or try and drag directly to your Rubbish Bin.

Option two is to try and rename the file to a different name and then try and delete it, this is another way of tackling it.
