648558 2008-03-11 09:41:00 I've recently been hit with this worm, and i've searched the web for solutions, and so far it hasn't worked. I'm running antivir classic, and it keeps poping up even if i delete it in safe mode.

Any other suggestions?


thanks heaps in advance!

Select all options under utilities.

Open my computer / right mouse, select scan with trojan remover. Delete whatever it picks up as this worm.

Install Avast Home or NOD32.

Disable system restore

Get rid of any P2P programs you've got

Then update Windows

Another option to the above, is to download this tool (www.microsoft.com).

Reboot in safe mode and run.

648561 2008-03-11 20:01:00 Thats part of the Rbot family - This tool here (www.sophos.com) is designed specificity to remove it. Download, double click to run it. Go into the configuration button and change it to scan all files.

As speedy said - disable system restore as well.

Then run windows update.

Heres what it does ----
