Do not open any e-mail from me Doug and Noelle Martin, as Sean has instructed-My brother has told me it is definetely a virus and a bad one at that. I have not been home to see if I have it or not and have not used my E-mail in a few days, so I have NO IDEA what it is, who it is from, and who it got sent to. I am not very computer savvy, so if it is coming from my e-mail can anyone suggest a way to remove it? How will I know if I have it? I had my wife run an updated virus scan just a minute ago- it showed nothing.

Norton picked it up and handled it. Update your Norton today.

I'd suggest going to Symantec's site or McAfee, depending on your virus software manufacturer (McAfee has a better research section). You'll have to research your symptoms and search for associated files on your computer, as well as entries in your Windows registry. Search for the WORM_HYBRIS.M if you think that's the one.
Virus definitions constantly have to be updated as new viruses are released (I guess you know that). McAfee has pretty good instructions for removing a virus once it's been identified, but it can be a complex process. For the non-computer savy, Norton's Anti-Virus subscription (yearly) is not a bad deal. You get the latest protection, and removal is automatic (and less painful), plus you get the latest definitions automatically. No affiliations with either company. |

Doug, it looks like it was sent to everyone on your email list. I got it twice. Norton jumped on it right away.
