W32.IRCBot.Gen PLEASE HELP!
« on: November 26, 2006, 03:31:04 PM »
recently my norton system works 2006 has been giving me the message of the W32.IRCBot.Gen virus has been found and ALSO deleted and it comes up the page, found 1 infection and its been deleted etc. Though this message constantly comes up all the time saying its found the W32 and deleted it. What does this mean???? I'v done the symantec walkthrough to get rid of this virus/trojan but when i go into safe mode to scan for it, it doesnt show up o nthe scan. Can someone please help?

System Restore turned off and Safe Mode are the best way to thoroughly clean so you are not just reinffecting yourself. You may also want to try the online scanner at Panda or Trend Micro

    DLoad and run Stinger.

    Do this in safe mode with System Restore turned off as GX1_Man suggested.

    This is a low level threat BTW more of a pain in the *censored* than anything.
