I just checked my nightly Norton run, and it has detected W32.Kwbot.f.worm

Don't worry, I am only using my other system for now.

It has quarainteened the files, which are just about all of my exe files... :angry: and my only option appears to be to delete them.

This will screw me I am sure....

Are there any patches out there?

Any fixes of any kind?

Will fdisk, which is in my plans anyway, rid me of this nasty thing?

its just a trojan horse that is very common on the kazaa network. the only files infected should be the original file you downloaded that contained the trojan, and all the files it created when it was executed. deleting the infected files should be enough to clear it off the system B)
