Windows XP

Not sure what started this. Anyway, I cannot run alot of
different programs without recieving the following errror
in slight variation in the numbers part:

Memory Access Violation in module Kernel32 at
3959:42962149f
or 9565:25547938 or 4848:53219142

Trying to start Reg. Edit causes the error or when I try
to start my Zone Alarm firewall software. There may be
other programs that will not run but I havn't discovered
that yet maybe. Please help if you can ...Thank you
kindly!!

Dude, you caught it! Now ya gotta fix it.

What is the Swen virus? It came in a FAKE email supposedly from Microsoft.
Remember that email?
Even if you had Antivirus in place, chances are the virus got to you before
the AV folks could come up with the cure. Bummer.
If you don't have Antivirus (and a firewall, too, man) GET IT.
Then, go to the McAfee "pharmacy" for the cure (thanks, Jason Tang):

You can use McAfee's Stinger removal tool to get rid of the worm.

You can also use Symantec's Swen Removal Tool
