Removal of Berbew virus

[Jayne]

I was also infected with the Berbew. Norton removed it.
Did you actually have them both...the pif and the exe? I
did ....I do not know anything about registry and afraid
to touch it. However, I guess I am going to have to try
it..The norton site also talks about disabling the system
restore. I really hate to do that..Did you have to do
that?
