Help, I have a backdoor virus, at least this is what my virus scanner says that it won't delete. The virus is in c:\windows\system\sysweb.exe. What do I need to do? Reformate by C drive?

From:

It follows that you have to delete these keys and the virus itself:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
"Setting"="sysweb.exe"

-
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices
"Setting"="sysweb.exe"

Good luck
