 |
|
| My computer is currently infected with W32.KWbot.D.Worm. I have scanned my computer with Norton Anti virus. When the scan completes it shows all the files that are infected then quarantines them. afterward I go in and delete them. However afterward Norton says that there is still a virus on the computer and that the quarantine attempt failed. Then delete failed. I have gone to the internet virus encyclopedia and read the info on this virus and followed the instructions to update the registry. Afterward I ran the scan again and this worm keeps coming up. Any ideas on how to get rid of it. I have already run Liveupdate. |

Here is a thorough walkthrough from Symantec, the mob who make Norton Anti Virus...

It's one of those nasty worms that hide in your Windows directory and embed themselves in the registry (the "place" where Windows knows how everything is interconnected). It might seem intimidating, but if you follow the instructions carefully, you shouldn't have a problem.
Feel free to ask if you need any help.
