You can download a fully functional 15-day trial of NAV 2004 from here.
 
Start your computer in Safe Mode and if you are using WinME or WinXP turn off System Restore.

Click on Start - Run, and type in MSCONFIG and hit OK.

In the little utility that opens, click on the Startup tab and look for an entry called Blaster and remove its check. While there, look for anything else that doesn't seem right (for example, anything like "wink*.*) and remove its check. If it was something important, you can always go back and re-select it.

This will allow you to boot into Normal Mode and get online to get whatever you need in the line of a virus program, install it, update its definition files, and let it scan the entire system (all files). This should clean the rest of it up.

After everything is cleaned up, go back and turn System Restore back on.

I don't know how to start up my system in safe mode but i did turn off the system restore.



 
As soon as you start to see text on your screen as it is booting, start pressing the F8 key about every 2 seconds. That way, hopefully, you will hit it at the right moment before it starts booting the operating system and you will get a DOS style menu. Use your arrow keys to move to the Safe Mode selection and hit Enter. Depending on your operating system, you may have to hit enter on the next screen also.
