Advice

This type of virus sometimes hides in the system restore file. You may want to try going into control panel, system,performance,system properties,file system and then check the disable restore box. Try rebooting your pc then.

If you have access to Norton Anti Virus 2004 or later try changing your bios settings so that your CD is shown as the first boot device. Put the NAV disc in the drive and reboot the pc. This should then load the NAV software in DOS mode. If you are lucky the virus may be known to NAV.

Hope this helps
