Symantec's current instructions say they can nuke this worm in normal Windows mode, so all you should need are the current virus defs to at least make yourself non-catagious. There will be a couple of registry entires still there that would point to the worm to start it up, but since the worm itself has been removed, the entries will simply be clutter, but should still be removed anyhow after the virus scanner removes the worm.
I was just about to come back commenting after a full system scan, stating the registry entries were still there, but you beat me to it.

Hmm...maybe I should install Norton Anti-Virus again.
How about 2k4?

This must be the reason our corporate filter sent us like 30 warnings of incoming zip files hahaha
Getting nailed up the arse by it here at work. Our Norton is catching all of it but it's annoying as hell.
I find it amusing that I'm getting this thing from people who shouldn't have my e-mail address...just got one from someone at unitedway.org...I've never talked to them in my life.
I take it this would be the reason for all of the "failed delivery" messages I've been getting on messages I didn't try to send, neh?

I had someone call up and said they opened the zip. I asked, did you run the file inside? They said yes. As a matter of fact, they kept double clicking it because the text file kept trying to load a "screen saver," but they could never read the "text" file. Mind you, THEY KEPT TRYING TO RUN THE FILE! Jesus tap dancing Christ! :|
Here's a question that I'm not sure about -
Some individuals at my company are getting mail from people they don't know, informing them in a text file that the virus was scanned and detected. I'm pretty sure that our system is up-to-date and secure, but since they're getting these mails, does that mean that it's possible that the virus was sent out by them (tho' not to the rest of us in the company)? Or is it more likely that somehow their e-mail address was obtained from elsewhere or spoofed?

I believe you on the forgery stuff. But one of them was from wviz.org, which is in Cleveland, where I'm from. How did the virus know to forge with that address? AFAIK I've never e-mailed WVIZ from the e-mail address I got the virus at. I only use that address for school stuff.

It's getting the addresses from the victim's address book. The person who is infected has both your address and the from address in his address book.
Spoofed. Both the to and from addresses are harvested from the infected computer's address book.
