NETSKY.P - - Help!

[AdamG]

I am going to go crazy!

I run windows XP - home edition
It has ALL the updates - all

I use outlook express (6.00.2800.1123) for e-mail.

The NETSKY.P worm keeps infecting me.
I clean it off (using trend mico virus scan) - read
closely all the cleaning and 'patch' issues - and believe
I've done everything asked.

I've read the Microsoft Security Bulletin (MS01-020) and
believe the patch as discribed is installed - but STILL
GETTING NETSKY.P infections.

What am doing wrong???

Thanks ahead of time

turn off system restore and reboot, the virus is most
likely still in the restore files. after rebooting do
another scan and if clean turn restore back on.

There's a removal tool at
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/[email protected]
but if you keep getting infected you need a better anti-virus and to quit
opening attachments. Try the free Avast from http://www.avast.com/ It
cleans attachments before they hit your inbox, including netsky.p.
