Hi, my brother was on AIM when his friend sent him this link that said something about a Myspace picture. He clicked the link, and although norton tried to stop him he permitted it. I went back onto the Norton Activity Log and he permitted these two files: C:\WINDOWS\wmiapsv.exe and C:\conf.com (I'm not sure if these are important files should I just delete them?)
I've tried using AIM fix but the problem will not go away. It's sending this virus to everybody on the buddy list and then AIM just goes haywire. I then deleted AIM from the computer and did a regedit(?) and then installed Gaim (which was something that was recommended when I was googling this virus) However, the problem persists. I then followed the instructions here https://www.techspot.com/vb/topic50981.html but that conf.com file and wmipsv.exe files are still on the computer. Is there anyway to fix this?
Thank you so much for your help
