temp02, I'm not exactly sure how Norton was able to rid you of the virus... The virus penetrates and takes control of your operating system including Windows files, so if Norton deletes them wouldn't your computer be running haywire?

And yes, this is by no means a normal virus. It's lethal and once infected, almost impossible to deal with.

FIX!!!!! It fixes the files! AKA remove malicious code that virus put inside each .exe
get it?

A system's ability to even boot into safe mode is a problem.

Does Norton really work? That's shocking, really.

Yes it will work, try it and see for yourself, you have nothing to loose :)
BTW the version I used for removing the virus was Norton 2005 Professional, but I guess it doesn't matter at all the version you will use, because after you update it's virus definitons they all will work (and remmember to fully scan every drive, internal and external, any CD/DVD infected will be garbage).
Good luck.
