Frank, Boot you computer in the "safe mode". This will
keep many applications from running on your system, at
least until you execute them. You can then modify the
registry on your computer (remove the "windowsupdate"
flag as discussed in the symantec advisory). You can then
run the virus removal tool (make sure your system restore
function is disabled as well). All of this info is at the
symantec website if I've been a little vague (can't find
it? Search for "epmap" on google. It will pull up a
website posted by a fellow who has done extensive
research on end point mapping viruses using the 135 port
in Windows XP). Denn
