look in the local users/software/microsoft/windows/run directory

if you see anything that doesnt look familiar or doesnt have Mircrosoft in it, delete it.

also check out getting Microsoft Anti-Spyware software...it's a beta test (very good one indeed) on the http://www.microsoft.com/ site...it's on the front page.

In order to use the software you must have a valid and legal copy of Windows XP.

If you all need more help, lemme know. I'll help you out.

I havent really looked into this worm specifically, but they're getting harder and harder to catch. Some worms are even being embedded into JPG files.

If you need help, fill out a thing on my site. I usually do this stuff for free. I dont want you all to egt screwed over.

If you casnt afford Anti-Virus software...let me know.(email me)
If you dont have/cant afford a real copy of XP...email me.
