    I got a virus, W32.Supova.Worm from Kazaa.(surprise surprise)

    I ran a virus scan on Norton but it couldnt delete it, so it quarantined it, therefore its still on my system, my updates were up to scratch so that had nothing to do with it not deleting it.

    I went on Symatecs website and it said to follow there instructions and go into a certain registry file and delete it, but it wasnt there. :-/

    If its quarantined will it be doing no harm to my system, or has any1 any idea how to get rid of the swine.

    Cheers

    If norton caught it when you downloaded it, you have no virus. It's in your quarantine folder. Open norton quarantine folder and delete it from there. Post back good or bad.

    Your welcome. Posting back is what makes this board work. Helps when people search for answers and find another post that worked.
