Can any one please help. I have just ran a virus scan using AVG, and 10
viruses were picked up. 7 were healed, but 3 remain, saying they cant be
healed. They are all "I Worms" they are "Bagle.e" "Dumaru.y" and "Dumaru.z".
How can these be removed? I am running XP Pro. Thanks.

Delete the files containing them - you probably have no use for these files
anyhow. Amputation rather than healing!

Are you really this dumb? You're beginning to sound like Bullis.

See if AVG will scan in the safe mode. (Press F8 during startup)

Another possibility is to borrow a second computer with anti-virus software
on it, and put your HDD in it as a slave, and run the anti-virus software to
clean it up.

Anti-virus resources:
This is a link to a small FREE program by McAfee Anti-virus named Stinger.
It will scan your system for 36 known viruses and trojans (including the new
W32/MyDoom worm) and repair them. You don't need McAfee anti-virus installed
on your computer... this is a stand alone program.

Not knowing Bullis, I can't say. But, if you would care to elucidate on why
my proposed solution was dumb, I would gladly accept the criticism and learn
from it.

AVG is crap. See further below for recommendations.

Read your advice again. "Delete the files containing them - you
probably have no use for these files anyhow."

Now THINK about what you said.

Better than that, why don't you figure out how you got the viruses and
eliminate the cause?

If the machine has detected files containing a virus then it *is* "actually
infected", is it not?

Lets take the case that the machine is not actually infected but has files,
say unsolicited emails or transfers, containing these viruses. AVG would
detect them and report them. Deleting these files would remove the problem
and a further AVG scan would be clear. That has been the most common
situation I have encountered where the number of infected files has been low
(in this case 3). Where the machine has actually been infected the count has
been much, much higher, although this obviously varies with the virus/trojan
concerned. If the next AVG scan is not clear then other measures will need
to be taken.

I realise I am only going by experience rather than hard fact, hence I am
more than prepared to learn from this.
