Let this be a lesson, never trust anyone.
Persoanly I make a process list and kill anything that show's up that's not on my list.

Grab a copy of HiJack This and run it. That will identify any things that are hiding in strange places. Also, go to Trendmicro and do an online scan. The virus can't stop that from starting...

hey,
The newer versions of NAV can't be killed like that so Im guessing you have maybe NAV (or NIS) 2003 or earlier. Here is what you can try and do. 1. Run your liveupdate to get the latest definations (click start>run, type in LUALL) 2. reboot your PC into SAFE mode 3. Open nav and run a virus scan. If that fails use this removal tool (I'm pretty sure this is the one that is causing trouble for you) Once it is gone reboot and try opening NAV in normal mode. if that fails Uninstall & reinstall. Your Subscription should come back when you reinstall. if you have NAV 2003 or earlier then I would recommend that when you next come up for a renewal of your subscription that you maybe upgrade to a 2005 version (you can upgrade for a reduced price and they will ship it out to you) DO NOT get the download version get the disk as the download version is more trouble than its worth.

I have NAV 2004 right now, but that seems like a good idea, updating it to 2005.
As for W32.Bropia, I'm running the removal tool, though it SEEMS like AVG got rid of it. I also uninstalled MSN Messenger v 7.0 and am now using (ICK!) Windows Messenger...but it hasn't sent anything to my friends today...so I may be in the clear. Hard to say with a laptop that has at least 230000 files on it. Thanks!

A firewall is also great for catching a trojan/worm you're not aware of when it tries to connect outwards, and Kerio can catch programmes not on your whitelist when they run on startup. Altogether a rather useful tool. Do let us know how the situation goes Ilander... [ 02-03-2005, 05:59 PM: Message edited by: shamrock_uk ] |

Yeah the removal tools do take ages to run because they scan EVERYTHING.
If you are running windows XP you may also want to turn off you System restore, delete the prevoisu restore points and then create a new one so the virus doesn't get backed up to your system restore at any point. 2004 should have been affected by that virus and it shouldn't have been shut down. Very strange.
