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

Trend micro, actually (link here. If it's really persistent, you may need to access the machine through a second computer or a boot disk and clean it up that way. Freakin' computers...

This is one tuff worm.
I will say, nevermind.

W32.Spybot.Worm is a detection for a family of worms that spreads using KaZaA file-sharing and mIRC. This worm can also spread to computers that are infected with common backdoor Trojan horses.

W32.Spybot.Worm can perform different backdoor-type functions by connecting to a configurable IRC server and joining a specific channel to listen for instructions.

aaaaah, boy do I feel smart now. you see, the thing is, I forgot the one crucial step in the symantec security response step-by-step instructions, which was running my anti-vir software WHILE in safe-mode...I ran it before AND after safe-mode, but not while it was on...stupid me! [img]tongue.gif[/img] Anyways, I got it out now, hopefully for good, just needed to do some actual reading first . Well, thanks to all who helped, Im sure your ways would have worked just as well . now ima get some shut eye...its four-frikin'-AM here...computers, gotta hate them [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Well, good to hear you got rid of it, I had something called Pinfi virus, almost all the EXe files on my computer were infected and Norton couldn't clean out a lot of them, so I had to format... grmbl.
