WELCHIA.WORM

[Barry Allenbaugh]

I am very new with computers and I have Windows XP on my
computer I also have Norton systemworks 2003 on the
computer also . The other night Norton warned me there
was this W32.welchia.worm on my computer affecting the
DLLHOST.EXE file. Norton said it could not correct or
delete it and this virus screen keeps popping up on my
computer. I have no idea as to what this is or how to
correct the situation. I would have thought Norton would
have corrected or not allowed this to happen , but I
guess not. WHAT SHOULD I DO TO GET THINGS BACK TO THE
WAY THEY WERE. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. BARRY

If the Norton's tool don't work , try this one.
This program from McAfee should clean it for you.
