hi all,
just looking for some insight... a friends computer was infected with the
agobot worm. it was hell to get rid of. after a thorough cleaning with
several antivirus scanners/trojan scanners, i got the system cleaned. my
son tested the computer all weekend long. no warnings at all. gave the
computer back to my buddy. within several hours, he called me to tell me
that the agobot infection is back. how could this be? could my buddy be
using msn messenger, aol's instant messenger and icq (all at the same time).
Is this where the worm comes from? is there a sure-fire way to remove this
worm? does the hard drive need to be formated to clean it up?
thanks for any and all suggestions/comments
