    I'm now attempting to run the CA <spit> virus & pest patrol thingy... assuming that it'll go this week.
    Suggest you also download the Sasser removal stuff from Microsoft..Oh yeah..have a firewall running or download it from a uninfected PC. You'll have to run the fix with the PC disconnected from the internet or you're bound to get it again...and its fast! First time I connected my PC to the internet on dialup here-I got infected before the setup even finished!

    That'll clear it out. I'm almost sure its Sasser.

      I'm in the process of reinstalling drivers and stuff...

      I'd forgotten what a joy a VIA chipset is...

        Thanks for all the help & suggestions chaps & chapesses...

        The CA <spit> thingie is running, but I'm not convinced it's doing much.

        Since it's the vac, there's a dearth of people around who actually know more about this stuff than the little I know...

                Nope.

                It is the box in work...

                The one that has the CA virus checker & pest control...

                Naughty pc is blessed with kaspersky...

                That finds things & stops other things from doing unfortunate things.

                CA appears to do bugger all really.

                I might add that I've never pointed it at anything naughty... but then again, that site that Cojak found did unfortunate things to it... which were cured for a while when the CA pest patrol thingie decided that it might work for a while.
