    Hello,

    I am a beginner and know very little about computer viruses. My computer is infected with the Worm.Win32.Netsky virus. Message told me it was detected on my machine and is distributed through e-mail and activex objects. The worm ahs its own SMTP engine which means it gathers e-mail from your local computer and redistributes itself.

    What do I do?

    It may be W32/Netsky.b@MM (McAfee) aka Moodown.B (F-Secure), W32.Netsky.B@mm (Symantec), W32/Netsky-B (Sophos), Win32.Netsky.B (CA), Worm/Netsky.B (CentralCommand), WORM_NETSKY.B (Trend).

    This virus spreads via email and mapped drives. It sends itself to addresses found on the victim's machine and by copying itself to folders on drives C: - Z:.

    Sounds nasty! :eek:
