Re:Computer smart people, I need your help*virus problem!
Save the necessity's (****, music, movies) then format your computer and re-install windows. If anything goes wrong with my computer I usually just take the easy way out instead of trying to fix ----. I am sure all that time you spent trying to get rid of that virus or whatever it was you could have had a fresh copy of windows up and running.
You pay for norton anti-virus? I thought all software was free these days.

I'm not a big computer guru. I'm not sure what you mean by format. I don't know a whole lot about computer language. 
My main fear was losing my precious ****!

I'm a virus tracker, lol.
btw, you probably picked it up with kaza/imesh ,etc.. if you download any executables such as certain patches, game fixes, games, etc... I've found many. I actually picked up one that allowed users to download ANY file on my computer while in kaza...

Re:Computer smart people, I need your help*virus problem!
Dr.Boost you're computer was infected virally before Norton was able to detect the virus. Unless you're trying to access some resource that window NEEDS to operate, what file is infected?
When the virus warnings pop up are they different file names that are popping up?
I would back up all of your data files and format the machine and install everything over again.
It sounds to me like you've run something and someone is using you as a backdoor and Norton is seeing some of the viruses but at some point the backdoor was put on without norton knowing.
This is becoming a common practice amidst anyone with broadband internet access.
I will help you out as best I can.

Re:Computer smart people, I need your help*virus problem!
Virus scripts can be attached via, Windows Media Player its a security flaw that Microsoft hasn't addressed yet. Scripts for internet programming CAN be run from .avi, .mpg, etc... movie format files (I am not sure about audial files).
From these scripts malicious programs can be installed to your machine, the only real way to block them is to get very ---- with your Norton Security program and block any 'new' scripts from opening without your consent first.

Format for Dr. Boost is when you COMPLETELY wipe out your hard drive.. call it a computer flush and re-fill
