I came home 30 min ago and my brother told me that great majority of his mp3s turned to -name-.mp3.vbs. Same goes for .jpg and some other filetypes. Yay! Quick Google search proved my darkest fears: it is a worm. So I d/l a fix and it really fixed part of those back to normal. But not all.

I had Norton AntiVirus installed when I bought the PC. But my Windows collapsed a month ago, and a reinstall was a must. Can I download NAV w/o paying $44?
I'd rather reinstall again.

Help. Please, help.
Any thoughts?
