Automatic Windows Update

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.perform_maintain (More info?)

I have determined that my PC has been infected with the Sober.P worm. I have
manually removed the three files: services.exe, csrss.exe, and smss.exe from
"C:\windows\Connection Wizard\Status" as well as cleaned up the RunOnce
registrary in the
HKey_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ and
HKEY_Local_Machine - same location. It was necessary to step the machine
back to a previous restore point. Machine is working again. Thanks
