and removal
The worm is detected and removed using definition files from Aug 19th 2003 or later.

We recommend, however, that you download and run a special fix for this worm.

Download Sobigfix by right clicking on this link. Run the file after downloading.

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.
