Obtain McAfee's virus and worm removal tool, Stinger: http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/

1) If you are using WinME or WinXP, disable System Restore
            http://vil.nai.com/vil/SystemHelpDocs/DisableSysRestore.htm
2) Reboot your PC into Safe Mode
3) Using McAfee Stinger, perform a Full Scan of your platform and clean/delete any
            infectors found
4) Restart your PC and perform a "final" Full Scan of your platform
5) If you are using WinME or WinXP,Re-enable System Restore and re-apply any
            System Restore preferences, (e.g. HD space to use suggested 200 ~ 400MB),
            reboot your PC.
6) If you are using WinME or WinXP, create a new Restore point
7) Please report back your results

| HELP !!
|
| I suspected a worm had infected my Windows 2000 computer
| due to emails being sent via my ISP.
|
| I installed Norton Internet Security on advice and indeed
| it has found the MY doom virus. The software reports the
| infected files , quarantines them and advises deletion.
| After deletion the software reports back some 40 files
| remain infected . I have run live updates to receive the
| lastest definitions and bloodhound scan on several
| occaisions but cannot seem to delete the remaining 40
| files hence the computer still has the virus.
|
| Any suggestions ?
|
