you think you got it bad, i hit NINETY THOUSAND!
all were in some volume thingy. idk what they were but deleting them sure fixed everything. this program rocks!~ thanks grandpa

Thanks Bobbie for the great help, i DID have the virus winupdates, and your Step by Step help was the easiest ever! Norton had not found it. however I tried AGV and it found all those zip files associated with that.

Easiest fix ever with help like yours. Bravo

Steve

Hey sorry its me again

yeah how do you safely uninstall Norton Antivirus 2005?

there seems to be no proper uninstall system so how should i best go about it?

OMG!! I'm so angry. I did all that, I found winsupdates, deleted it. But idk wat other viruses I have on my stupid computer. I use adaware, and it found almost 400 things at one time, i deleted all of it, and jsut for security i ran it again, right wen if finished scanning, and it found 10 more. And it keeps doing that. When I restart my computer, my anti virus program tells me dat it finds 10 viruses. Always the same folder, and it only deletes 5 of them, the rest, it just tells me are infected. Its found in C:\WINDOWS\system32\tpygvtl. If I try to delete it manually with a program called Delete Dr. or Sure Delete, it says it cant delete it. I also turned off my system restore because on the ad-aware page it said that might be a reason that things I have deleted have come back. But that doesn't work. I'm going crazy, I left for just a few hours and left my brother alone with the computer, and he sends it all to hell. If anyone can help me please oh god help!

HELP!!!
Ok ive gone through the steps provided to eliminate the virus.
However, I didn't do the bit at the start about deleting the WINUPDATE file(s) because i couldnt find one.
'I am now up to the step where i have to end the task System Idle Process. I click end process, then click yes, but then a message comes up saying i cant end it!!?!?!?!? How do I end it now?

you're not supposed to end system idle process. i dont think

That says end its process right? Or did i miss read it?

Dam, i used avast virus cleaning tool to scan the prefetch folder and no virus was found..... SO what now? I cant find any virus in prefetch and cant end System Idle process....

Have a look at each of the thread links that discuss this. I believe there's at least one that says which file to remove in order to put functionaliy back on the map. It's in regards to start up items afaik. But read it & you might find i'm wrong (I haven't read it for a couple of mths at least.)
