Virus FIX Information
Here are some "Do it yourself" instructions!
Stinger
Stinger is a stand-alone utility used to detect and remove specific viruses. It is not a substitute for full anti-virus protection, but rather a tool to assist administrators and users when dealing with an infected system. Stinger utilizes next generation scan engine technology, including process scanning, digitally signed DAT files, and scan performance optimizations. McAfee updates it on an ongoing basis. Please visit this site to download and use it. http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/
