It would be easy if you had Norton.

Also I notice on the AVG site they have a recent update.

"Update AVG 7.0 - AVI 260.0.0 and AVG 6.0 - 517
Added detection of new variants of IRC/BackDoor.Flood, Worm/Spybot, a couple of backdoors and some program fixes in AVG 6.0.
- September 8, 2003 -"

Have you checked this out?

Sorry, I have no idea how to remove it manually.

Panda Software has a free scan to see if you have a virus/worm.

Free Virus Scan

It is down on the left.


For the Spyware use SpyBot Search and Destroy. It takes care of a lot more than just spyware and best of all it is Freeware with five *****'s.
