    Greetings all!

    Having a little problem with a worm and could use some help. I caught this little sucker from an e-mail and thought that my AV protection had killed it, but after a routine check it croppped its ugly head. The virus is I-Worm/Klez H.

    My problem is that I cannot access the file that it has infected. My OS platform is Millennium and the affected file is located in a restore/temp folder. Problem is, in the restore folder there is no file labeled temp. Any suggestions? Any help would be great!

    Thanks,

    Jeff

    Yes go to start- programs-accessories-system tools

    Turn off system restore

    Update virus defs.

    Reboot to safe mode reun virus scan

    kill viri

    reboot to full renable system restore and set new restore point

    Kick back, grin, have a Hinnie!

    Jeff, Mike's got it right up until the last line. Make that a Coors and you'll really be a winner! :D That green stuff will give you a headache. :eek:

    And no offense to you or Zeph, but I'll make mine a Sam Adams and then hook a real worm and do some fishin!

    That's great Jeff! I'm glad Mike's advice hit the nail on the head.

    btw, I used to drink that Sam Adams stuff 'til I accidentally took a tug on one that I had earlier used to put my cigarette butt in and it tasted better. I knew it was time for a change. :D

    ps. Stay away from that Lone Star too, it'll come back to get cha!

    God drinks Coors and rides a Harley, that's good enough for me too! :cool: I never fool around with that "Wife Beater" beer.

    BTW All, the Calypso EMail Client, available FREE at RoseCity Software here at Infinisource.com, is IMMUNE to these worms that use the Address Book to email itself! The Calypso address book is encrypted and prevents such worms from propogating.
