heres the deal: I have a virus. No biggie there, I have Norton Anti-Virus installed...too bad it cant repair the file. Ive tried to remove it manually by following the instructions i found here, but as of yet, my efforts have been in vain.

A little adittional info so you guys can actually help me

the virus goes by the name W32.Spybot.worm, and was found from the location C:\WINDOWS\System32\msjarun.exe. After some snooping around, I found that "msjarun" is actually a program called Microsoft JavaVM...to me that doesnt sound too dangerous, apart from the word Microsoft, of course [img]tongue.gif[/img] . So anywho, what I need is help to manually remove it, as the websites instructions havent really worked too well

thanks in advance
