guess I'm screwed. that free scan won't work for me and I've tried nearly 10 times.

I'll see you guys when i decide to spend money on adequate anti-virus programs!

Yes this thing was a total pain to get rid of. I had up to date anti virus and it still got like that.

This may help :)

Please, i barely have time for these forums. Plus i'm not geeky enough to understand any lingo they might drop on my geek-poser ass!

The world will be over after tomorrow. So you may NEVER see us again! Supposedly this virus may be controlled by a central system which will in turn create SkyNet which means ARMAGEDDON. Be scared!

with all the media coverage its gotten, you'd think this really was the case.

No my Norton Premier V3 seems to be doing a great job so far (my computer has even been running better with it).

I cleaned my computer, but after visiting a questionable site involving *EXPLICATIVE* I now can't play any flash videos like youtube. Keeps asking me to enable javascript or upgrade my flash player.

java is enabled & I have the latest flash player (10.xxx)

Have to run the virus scanners again
heh heh crisis averted :)

I found old unrelated dormant trojans during my vigorous scan today.  I haven't done a vigorous scan in months.

yeah, none of the linked AV scans worked for me, even downloading the free trial programs didn't work (they'd download and not open, then windows folders wouldn't close).

on the bright side, there aren't any MORE pop-ups than usual, so I'll just deal with it until something cataclysmic happens.

My firefox keeps trying to upgrade itself (and failing). In fact, everything that has tried to upgrade (including java) has failed. Also, something's are loading slower than usual, like video; it's choppy.

I use Windows Live OneCare...no issues here. It's fast, runs in the background, and you can usually get it for about $10 on eBay, after using the free 90-day trial.

Microsoft doesn't like Firefox, it won't let me run the scan (and I stopped using Internet Explorer a long time ago because it was freezing up every day and now I can't even load it).

I read that something like only 6% of computers in America are infected with the worm.  You guys have really bad luck.

I was fortunate enough to reformat my PC last month (for a completely unrelated issue) so I'm in the clear.  ;D
