i FINALLY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS HAVE A WORM VIRUS ON MY PC
Norton has tried its best but this worm attacked the antivirus program to.Computer has been shuting down with the blue screen of death.tried to boot with ghost image to no avail.Time to format again,or is there hope for me.Any help on this.I tried every thing.Worm name keeps changing.Its in my memory now,also in bootlist and system 32 files.there are random dll files to created.I guess i am f#$%#$d now.120gigs of **** now.helpME to help yourself to.

THIS all just happened from turning my auto protect of for just 15 mins,to play a stupid game for mor memory.I think my wife also opened an attachment.HOW do i save it.I went into a corner of my house and asked myself why.

If you know the name of the worm - try going to the symantec site and download the worm fix tool for the specific worm. Start your PC in safe mode and run the tool.

I suggest you then backup all your data and format if the damage was substantial.

The thing is the worm changes names,i think.Its hard to track this thing down.Maybe a mydoom.By the way i did try the worm removal tools a couple of days ago,but to no avail.Might be a hardware conflick mixed with a hijacker

do a re-install from scratch
and swear the stoopid bee-atch
dat made the sh!tty worm
dat's makin' you **** an' squirm
if you wants a real good feex
rather load and use Ly-neex
PEACE!

dablakmark8, you'll maybe want to get something like this for future use :

I'm thinking of getting it myself, or maybe 'cos I don't want to spend the cash, manually create it :-

http://www.nu2.nu/bootdisk/cdrom/

What is it ?
A boot CD that uses a minimal GUI using some windows components that you can load up with all sorts of utilities, like anti-virus and anti-spyware software.

I've got a basic one I created a while back and I've used it to save quite a few people the pain of re-installing.

Get Nod32 to clean viruses, get adaware to clean adware, use msconfig (start->run->msconfig) to clean startup.
problem sorted
