Viking/Looked/TIBS-AKO worm annoy

[RedPenguin]

Somehow I managed to get a worm on my network called Viking/Looked/TIB-
AKO, and all the machines except one had AVG installed and still they
got them. I am trying Avast Home Ediition but it's trying to get rid
of every EXE cause it infected every EXE on the system. It will not
permit you to install Norton Antivirus because it will mess up the exe
so it can't run and even though it will run in safe mode, you can't
install it there.

Anyway to fix this other then reinstalling every computer?

Download MULTI_AV.EXE from the URL --
http://www.ik-cs.com/programs/virtools/Multi_AV.exe

To use this utility, perform the following...
Execute; Multi_AV.exe { Note: You must use the default folder C:\AV-CLS }
Choose; Unzip
Choose; Close

Execute; C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT
{ or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS }

NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow WGET.EXE to go through your
FireWall to allow it to download the needed AV vendor related files.

C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT -- { or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS}
This will bring up the initial menu of choices and should be executed in Normal Mode.
This way all the components can be downloaded from each AV vendor's web site.
The choices are; Sophos, Trend, McAfee, Kaspersky, Exit this menu and Reboot the PC.

You can choose to go to each menu item and just download the needed files or you can
download the files and perform a scan in Normal Mode. Once you have downloaded the files
needed for each scanner you want to use, you should reboot the PC into Safe Mode [F8 key
during boot] and re-run the menu again and choose which scanner you want to run in Safe
Mode. It is suggested to run the scanners in both Safe Mode and Normal Mode.

When the menu is displayed hitting 'H' or 'h' will bring up a more comprehensive PDF help
file. http://www.ik-cs.com/multi-av.htm

After you download all sections of Multi_AV,disconnect every machine
from network before cleaning. If you don't you will get reinfected.
I recommend using NOD32 instead of Norton,AVG or Avast.
Format/Install would be the way to go.
Perhaps you just need a bigger rubber.

I would just redo all the systems but I have a lot of data on some of
them, and if I redo just one or two, they probably will be infected
again anyway.

I need something that will not only remove the virus but heal all
the .exes that it put infectious code into.
