boot up in safe mode and delete the file yourself, press the f8 key as the puter boots up. try that. plus delete the files were you got the virus from, prolly something you d-loaded from kazaa

For one disable system restore. Then follow norton's instructions.

start pressing the f8 key as soon as your keyboard lights flash, press like once every second, you should get to it then

You can find more information about this virus here: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcen...hllw.studd.html

I think you probably already visited that website though. I couldn't find the removal tool. Sorry. I guess it wasn't released with this virus.

The best way you can remove this tool is to follow the instructions on the website posted above. Print out the page and get to it.
