Recurring Virus.

[Guest]

Hi,

HOpe someone can help. I have Norton Internet Security and had to disable
it for approx 30 minutes the other day to work on a geocities website and you
cannot have Norton enabled.
SInce then I have scanned my computer several times with both Norton and 3
other free anti virus downloads but still my computer is being attacked by a
Trojan Low Zones virus. Norton is detecting it and deleting it but it must
be attacking approx 25 times a day at the moment.
How can I stop the virus coming in to my computer. Norton keeps deleting it
but I do not know where it is coming from or how to stop it accessing my
computer via the internet.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Apparently, your System Restore files have been infected by
the viruses. To correct this issue, you need to turn-off
System Restore completely, reboot, then re-enable it.

If the above does not work, you'll need to perform a "clean install".
