Virus

[zamboe]

I haven't had a virus since a very long time, so I am quite noob about what to do.

Norton antivirus found out as W98 was iniciated the following virus :

W32.Sobig.E@mm

NAV couldn't repair the file WINSSK32.EXE that was infected and put it in quarentine (spl?) after that windows continued to iniciate and tried to use that file.

What should I do now ?

plz advice.

Found this on the web.

http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.sobig.e@mm.removal.tool.html

Hope it works.

Hmm u have to type the rest of the address not in yellow, Don't know why it's not all yellow.

[ edit: tried to edit the URL so it would show up ok, guess the @ is preventing that ]

As long as it is in quarantine you should be fine. But if you want, try out the removal tool.

How can I be sure that if I delete the file that file wont be needed anymore ?

It's an executable file, it won't be needed unless you need whatever it runs.
