Hi Mary Ann,

Several viruses cause this behavior. You can use the emergency tools
described here while you get your antivirus software up to date:

Do not delay in fixing this.

Greetings --

The type of behavior you describe is typical behavior of more than
one virus/worm, the three below being the most common:

W32.Klez

W32.Yaha
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/[email protected]

W32.Spybot.Worm
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.spybot.worm.html

Because many of the newer viruses and worms, such as the
Spybot mentioned above, can disable antivirus applications whose
definitions aren't kept up-to-date, try using one or more of the free
on-line scanners to double-check your system.

trend micro is the program that found the trojans and they were deleted. i
have norton and live update installed already.

Hi Mary Ann,

I can't make the instructions any simpler than the ones Doug gives on the
link. After downloading the file, double-click it. Then double-click the
emergencyutil.exe file. Afterwards, you can run the copied system tools from
the C:\emergency Utils folder on the hard drive.

Repairing XP will be useless, as the virus will still be present.
