Backdoor.Winet Trojan Virus Help

Hi everyone, my Norton detected this virus (Backdoor.Winet)today, but said
it could not delete or repair it, so I went to the Norton site and followed
the instructions to delete the virus by going into the registry. I found the
files, and deleted them from the registry, but it is still being detected by
Norton as being on my computer. Any suggestions or sites that could help?
Thanks in advance! Koreena

 

Perhaps it is still in your "restore file" if you are using ME or XP? If
you reboot, does it, or does it not reappear in your registry? If it does
not reappear, then most likely it has been backed up onto your "restore".

 

Hello,
Dan is "right on". Try this. Go to www.symantec.com and follow the link to
the anti-virus center. Look up this
nasty thing and see if they have a downloadable fix for it. If so, download
it and save to a floppy.
Disable "System restore". Note: how to do this is in your Windows Help file
on the programs menu.
Reboot into "Safe Mode" and run the fix tool. It should clean your hard
drive and the Restore Partition plus
clean out the registry.
Reboot back into Windows XP. Re-enable system restore.
Operate normally!

Happy Computing

Yes, I have XP and that is what's happening. How do I fix that?

 

Thanks so much everyone! What a pain, I am going to the link and see if I
can get it taken care of! You guys are great! Koreena
