It was very stubborn and none of the things i'd just heard about here and there worked, but then I found this link and it cleaned everything up... I've since had to go through the process 2 or 3 times for things that have gotten onto various computers and it has always cleared it up..

Yeah this site seems pretty good.

Another site that I have used for years is ªªHome of Gibson Research Corporationªª (Gibson Research Corporation) Steve Gibson has been well regarded since the early days of the internet and really knows his stuff. Internet Security is his specialty. Of particular interest is Shields UP!, an online utility which will test the effectiveness of your computer's firewall.

another good place for information is the Symantec site.

Viruses and Risks - Virus Protection | Security Response .

Symantec is the maker of Norton products
