Hi All,

The AVG Free anti-virus program shown:
Virus found SpySheriff C:\Windows\secure32.html

What to do to get rid of the virus?
Is it dengerous? What can it do in the system?

Operating System: Windows98SE.


Spy Sheriff is a nasty one. It downloads other spyware, hijacks web pages,
and is very difficult to get rid of. My father had an infection, and I had
to rely on some top notch help over at CastleCops. I couldn't track down
that tutorial, but the following one is very similar. It is time consuming
process, but the only alternative is to wipe the drive and start with a
clean install. Good luck:
