1) If you are using WinME or WinXP, disable System Restore
http://vil.nai.com/vil/SystemHelpDocs/DisableSysRestore.htm
2) Reboot your PC into Safe Mode
3) Using your AV software, perform a Full Scan of your platform and clean/delete any
infectors found
4) Restart your PC and perform a "final" Full Scan of your platform
5) If you are using WinME or WinXP, re-enable System Restore, reboot the PC
6) If you are using WinME or WinXP, create a new Restore point
7) Please report back your results
In addition:
If you post to UseNet with your TRUE, not a munged, email address then you have now invited
the Swen worm to visit you.
The Swen is news spelled backwards. The reason it is called this is because the Swen worm
harvests email addresses from UseNet News Groups. It has an engine that allows it to post
itself to UseNet News Groups and well as it has its own email engine. From the list of
email addresses that it has harvested, it will then email itself to those addresses.

| Following download of Norton Antivirus update a virus was
| detected on my system. It being 'Download.Trojan'
| According to a full system scan it had been on my system
| for nearly two weeks but hadn't been detected.
| I think I have located it in a file named wupdater.exe.
| But I cannot get it out of the system even after
| following all the advice I have been given. A full system
| scan finds it, but states it can't get rid of it.
| Any help would be great.!!!!!!!
