Following my last post...
For those of you that know how to work with registry:

In that key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run

There should be a value named:

"TrayX"="%Windir%\winppr32.exe /sinc"

remove it! the virus wont start when windows boots if you remove it, then you can proceed and do the other steps with the virus removal tool from symantec... I don't know if it does clean the registry...


and why my first post shows my name as CROCKETT I ain't from florida either ?! bug?

W32.Sobig.F@mm has not been found on your computer



of course emails still coming every few sec!

[j3ff]

thats good if you dont have it, it means you're not infected, it means you didnt run any attachments, good boy.

[Theo]

i never run them, but still pretty often due to some missing w2k update i manage to get infected....and all this because i insist to use outlook
