There is a link to a removal tool by Symantec as there is a link to a similar tool by McAfee and a few others. I used the McAfee tool because I use their anti-virus and firewall programs but anyone can use any one from what I read. Even if you are sure you haven't been infected as I was, what is the harm in downloading and running one of those tools just to be 100% sure. Perhaps you might get a few e-mail adverts from them, so what. Stephen didn't read what was on the website. One question I had is that if you are already using one of the tools listed why should it be necessary to download and run a test for a specific virus. Not sure how this malware works, but a lot of viruses disable the av programs when they infect a machine (and block access to common av websites). And if someone has bad or non-updated av, they still might get infected. -- regards andy |
