GUEST,perplexed Tech: Trend Housecall Virus Scan (6) Tech: Trend Housecall Virus Scan 27 Aug 04


For the last few weeks my email inbox has gone beserk. I get and delete about 15 emails a day. They are either blank or telling me that a message has been sent to the web mail inbox provided by my ISP. There is no such account as I have never set one up.

I did a virus scan today and it showed I have 1567 files infected with NETSKY WORM. I managed to delete all but three of these files. The remaining three all say "Unable to access" when I try to delete.

So how do I ever get rid of this Worm. People in my address book are all getting these weird emails, and the FROM line always has either a name from my address book, or one very similar. So I know I am the problem, but if I can't delete NETSKY completely, how do I stop the virus from doing it's nasty work?

Any suggestions in language that a five year old could understand would be muchly appreciated.
