I've run Nortons Antivirus and it has detected a virus called SecurityRisk.Downldr.Nortons Antivirus cannot delete the infected file (C:\Windows\csc\d6\80000385) so it is telling me to delete it myself by using windows explorer to locate it and then delete it.However I cannot find this file for love nor money I've tried to find it in windows explorer and with the search facility but with no joy.Also since downloading critical updates from microsort every time I start up my pc it says it has found new hardware and trys to install my printer again but can't ,however my printer still works.Can anyone help or should I just throw this peice of S--t out the window.
 
1) Reboot your PC into Safe Mode
2) Using NAV, perform a Full Scan of your platform and clean/delete any
infectors found
3) Restart your PC and perform a "final" Full Scan of your platform
4) Please report back your results

In addition:
If you post to UseNet with your TRUE, not a munged, email address then you have invited the
Swen Internet worm [aka; W32/Gibe-F] to visit you.

The Swen is news spelled backwards. The reason it is called this is because the Swen worm
harvests email addresses from UseNet News Groups. It has an engine that allows it to post
itself to UseNet News Groups as well as it has its own email engine. From the list of
email addresses that it has harvested, it will then email itself to those addresses.
