Detection and removal |
||||||||||
|
The virus is detected and removed using def files from June 5th 2003 or newer. We recommend, however that you download and run a special fix for this worm. Download BbBfix by right clicking this link. On Windows Me and Windows XP you should disable System Restore before cleaning up after a virus infection. If you don't there will probably be infected files left in the _restore directory. |
