Lovsan.A virus.

[Nev.]

My AVG program did not stop MSBLAST.exe
and could not quarantine or remove it.

I got the MS program to remove MSBLAST,
and then got/installed the MS patch to plug the hole in XP.
AVG then reported my computer was free of viruses.

The later AVG reported my computer had the Lovsan.A virus,
but again AVG could not quarantine/remove this virus either.

Buit this time the MS program that removed MSBLAST for
me would not remove Lovsan.A for me. So can someone
tell me if MS has a program that will remove Lovsan and
tell me where I can find it to download?

TIA,

Nev.

There are 2 more variants out now.
The exes for the variants are teekids.exe and penis32.exe
Kelly's script kills all 3 variants.

If you are having trouble staying up to get the patch and removal tool:
When the shutdown prompt appears,go to start/run and type
shutdown -a to abort the shutdown process to allow you to stay up and
online.

Microsoft posted the link to McAfee's Stinger program which
will remove many viruses in one step.
