Another one infected today.

There isnt much info on removal of this worm, but here is McAfee's explaination, 
using their AV to remove it and also note the Registry entry that needs removing 
and disconnecting shared drives etc.

Probably any up to date AV program will remove it.

Read all instructions on the site.

Sama.

I replied to your post on the same virus, here. >>

But read my reply to Jen, it is basicallty the same reply, read all it says on the 
McAfee site to remove the virus.

It sounds like you havent removed the Registry entry and will keep coming back until 
it is removed.
