When my Norton ran today, it said I have this virus. A google led me to to site for help. I've read a couple of posts about this removal and the 8 step procedure but I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
I have Spybot, Ad Aware, and Norton Antivirus. Should I uninstall all of them or just the Norton and do the 8 step procedure. Like I said, I'm not really good at this.
Thanks, Wally
