Greetings --

The type of behavior you describe is typical behavior of more than
one virus/worm, the three below being the most common:

W32.Klez
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.klez.e@mm.html

W32.Yaha
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.yaha.c@mm.html

W32.Spybot.Worm
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.spybot.worm.html

Because many of the newer viruses and worms, such as the
Spybot mentioned above, can disable antivirus applications whose
definitions aren't kept up-to-date, try using one or more of the free
on-line scanners to double-check your system.

Thanks,
How can I restore MSCONFIG,REGEDIT and TASKBAR...I have
my Windows XP Disk available...When I ran Norton on it it
did say I had the w32.spybot.worm so I deleted it like
suggested, but that did not work...I no longer have
norton on it nor am I hooked up to the internet, as It is
my daughters computer I am trying to fix...I cannot find
a removal tool for the worm either.

any additional ideas?

Thanks,
twosox
