Cant Get Rid Of Vrius

Format, its quicker. I tried for weeks trying to get trojans off my system last time I got infected, and new ones just kept comming back. Format and stay away from P2P programs like limewire. Use BT or newsgroups.

Format , thats a little drastic no ? I like Zed's advice about the hijack this log .

I find anything I scan with will find stuff that AVG missed.

The suggestions are right - turn off System Restore and run an online check; from Safe Mode if possible.

Not if your telling him to format ! But I know what you mean .

The page regarding Symantec's suggested removal instructions, should have been "dead-on" if performed as out-lined. This issue should have been resolved there. It is not as if we are talking about any sort of "Sassar" grade virus or the like.

I believe Peat's first advice is the best approach. Neutralize the "System Restore", and any currently running anti-virus or related processes and reboot into safemode without networking. Take extra precautions to follow precisely symantec's removal instructions as outlined.

Yeah I don't think he is coming back.

My nortons cant get rid of it

You have two?

first of all i would not post if i had not tryed them both so you can get that damn look off your face second of all i tryed both things posted and that damn virus is still on here

Settle down buddy.... you can see VB's face?

The link VB posted tells you what the virus does, and what files it creates. Boot into safe mode, undo all the changes listed at the link, do one final scan. Shouldn't be that much of a problem...
