I have been troubled with Blastxx and Lovsxx.A worm, and I thought I had cleared myself of it. However, after re-installing MSWord and WindowsXP, the latter descended upon me again. Kept appearing, kept telling my to run AVG, still kept coming back. I was on the point of writing to this list for help when a thought entered my head (How??I don't know! LOL). Look in the archives. Doing a search for the name of the virus I found a recommendation from Sir Troth. It was to disable SystemRestore and re-enable it. This was because he though the virus was resident in the System Restore Back up files, and performing this simple task would remove ALL the back ups that were still in the system. How right he was, and at this stage I am breathing a sigh of relief. SIR TROTH, I bow to you with gratitude.
