Instead of doing a clean install of the OP, I would recommend disabling the
restore feature (if you use XP), clean the virus or worm according to
Symantec directions and then enable the restore after a reboot. You may
avoid having to do a full install of the OP. BTDT.

get

:
: and do this before, going anywhere else on the internet!!!!
:
: Next download Ad-Aware Se Personal (free)

:
: Many problems start when the user does not update there security programs
: ( and now many companies have the option for auto-update)
: and the best advice is to keep everything updated, esp. your Virus
software.
:
: popup's- try Google's tool bar It will not catch all of them, only greatly
: reduce the numbers.

:
: NOTE: if you are unable to afford to buy Pc-cillin Internet Security's,
try
: looking at eBay for an older copy, Then you can pay a much lower price to
: update it to the newest copy. ( download)
: If you cannot afford even this, the next best would be to download a free
: copy of AGV, but keep in mind when a new worm or virus hits the net, you
: might get hit, as AGV has now moved into trying to force there users to
Buy
: the software now, and the buyers are able to download the newest updates
