!@#$%^&*o, I have a Worm running on my PC for about a year or so and I have done anything I can think of to make it go away but it just keeps on coming back. I consider myself an advanced user. W32.Gael.Worm is infecting .exe files, changing a few bytes of its code so the user cannot use the infected .exe anymore. Any anti-virus software would instantly disinfect the worm from the .exe, the problem is obviously imuune my system against that particular worm. I have tried a couple of things including running an Anti-virus check using: AVG, BitDefender, eTrust, Symantec etc. They all remove the worm perfectly, however, the problem is that it keeps on infecting files and i get annoying pop-ups during playtime that the Anti-virus has stopped a worm from spreading. This is taking out the fun playing games on my PC and also takes CPU usage due to extensive Anti-virus check and disinfection. I currently have Bitdefender9 which have Firewall and Anti-virus included (tried almost every firewall out there). => Firewall doesn't stop the worm from spreading. I also have WinXP + SP 2 on a CD and this current OS is the one I installed from my CD so basicly I installed a fresh copy of Windows XP with the Service Pack 2 BEFORE going online and installing updates. All of these things doesn't help making the worm go away, I need to immune my system, can anyone think of a way? Cheers, Bancko
