Thank you for your reply.
Earlier I failed to mention that those viruses were found
on more than 1 machines.
For ex: Bkdr./bounce.a. and Troj SQLSpida.B were found on
1 machine.
IRC/Flood.ap Trojan was on a different machine.
Malware.pe_parite.a was on a different machine.
malware.worm_agobot-2 was on a different machine.
W32/Sdbot.worm.gen.T was on a different machine.
W32/Sdbot.worm.gen.R was on a different machine.

I am just wondering how to best clean or delete those
viruses ?
We do have Symantec AV with the latest virus definition
installed, and we have it running on schedule every day.
It did not catch the viruses mentioned above. We also
have firewall.

Thanks a lot.
