Hi folks,
In the last couple of days, an executable DL.EXE pops up at random and creates havoc printing blank pages etc. Also messages about NTVDM apear and it cuts off Internet.
I did some web search and have concluded that it has something to do with W32/Gael.worm.a or W32.Bagz@mm worms. A file I transferred to another machine that has a Virus Detection software identified it as such also.
I have been wary of anti-virus or anti-spyware software in the past. After spending money on such stuff, they still were unable to clean the machine entirely. Have been running free of a virus for the past 4-5 years (by using Router Firewall and being vigilant with emails) but I made the mistake of opening up the Router firewall for a few days and forgot to close it back.
Any suggestions on how to clean this entirely? If there has been a detailed procedure laid out in the past, could someone please direct me to it.
thank you,
DonkeyDude
