 |  Little bit of Help.. I know this shouldn't be posted in the OT fourm... but this form seems to get the most traffic. I just found out i had a worm called P2P-Worm.win32.Vb.dw. My anti-virus software has deleted it. However the worm was hidden in an folder called "outlook" to mimic the forlder "Outlook Express" in my program files. I cannot see this folder, and it is not hidden, but i can however type in the address bar C:\Program files\outlook and i can open it. Is there anyway i can delete this folder? Any help in solving this pest problem would be appreciated, and does anyone know any online scans i can use to totally make sure i have gotten rid of this pest?

| Usually the best way to handle a comprimised computer. Is to just format and try it all over again.. The best method of antivirus management is not detection and removal.. It is better to be in a PREVENTION method. I would personally format/reinstall after your computer was attacked with that worm |
