i have a worm
Try this tool after reading the directions very carefully:
"W32.Sober Removal Tool" http://securityresponse.symantec.com...val.tool.html. Bear in mind that virus spreaders don't care if their work can be removed cleanly. Before using the removal tool, backup all your important documents, pictures, address book. etc. Rocky "loricoates" wrote in message ... my anti virus soft ware says i have a sober.g worm. i ran a fix and it said it had gotten rid of it....but apparently it's still here...anyone have any ideas...can i ever get rid of this thing? it worries me to have email being sent out that i know nothing about |

You might have got rid of it from the system but it could be resident in the
System Restore files. To delete it from there you have to switch OFF system restore/reboot/switch system restore back on. -- Paul Woodsford Remove ****NOSPAMPLEASE**** to Reply "Rocket J.
