I know this appeared on this reflector some time ago but I was not interested since I did not have the problem. Now, my daughter's computer running Windows XP and Norton Anti Virus that has never been updated had 33 of these types of Virus. I installed AVG and it apparently removed or "healed" all but 11 of them. Could someone repeat the advice on how to deal with the rest of these pesky beasties? AVG seems to identify them but either it does not really "heal" them or they keep on replicating themselves. Appreciate any helpful suggestions..
