Craig, two things will help you out. First: After you get
the virus removal tool, start your computer in the safe
mode. You can then run the tool, as needed.

Second: Go to symantec.com

They have an extensive explanation on how to install the
patch, configure your computer (and how to do so), how to
modify your registry to keep the virus from running, etc.
The virus removal tool is located right there. Be sure to
boot your computer in the safe mode (again discussed at
the symantec site, if you do not know how). Having
problems finding what you need at the symantec site? Do a
search on google.com, on "epmap". There's a fellow who's
set up a site discussing the various end point mapping
virus problems folks have been experiencing with windows
xp. He has the link to the symantec site hotlinked to
his.

After this, you can apply the patch, run a check on your
machine, etc
