- get a free antivirus from http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1\n- go to: security.symantec.com/sscv6/home.asp? and check for locations of viruses and manually search and delete each one of them, restart and do the whole process again.\n- if there is a stubborn virus, backup data and reformat.

Download the free spybot from http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html\nIt is probably just spyware.  I know of at least one case where a link in a source here on answers caused a cascade of browser windows to open (not too nice, either).\nI reported it as abuse.\nSpybot cleaned it up.

all the anit-virus company holds huge mounts large servers in different country. what these serves will do is that they will  testify files everyday on the internet, and once the computer find the files that will harm your computer, it will put it on to a worning list, thenyour anti-virus program will download(update) the worning list, and automatically block the virus.

there are most likely features on the router (i'd need to know which one you had) that accomplish this.  my home router has that capability and our two at work do as well (we used it for that specific reason, in fact ;) )\n\nyou may also turn off file/print sharing on the infected computer and alter its domain or workgroup name.

You don't want to have it stop blocking attacks. If you do, you'll compromise your system. Avast is there for a reason. Use it.

There is no such. I needed to re-install my PC just a few days ago and when I made a connection to Internet it was flooded with worms. I thought my PC-Cilin antivirus was good enough, but it couldn’t protect me. I downloaded AVG, Avast!, Ad-Aware, SpyBot… etc., and all of them found something. I recommend you to have numerous software to protect you.

To avoid re-inventing the wheel myself i'm posting links instead of explaining evthing.\n\nYou can read about portscanning here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portscanning\n\nYou can read about trojan horse here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trojan_horse_%28computing%29\n\nI would suggest, don't worry about it and let the firewall do its job. Keep your firewall definitions updated. Block unwanted program access to the internet. And continue the good job of keeping your virus definitions updated. \n\nGood luk

W32/IRCbot.worm is a medium risk worm for home users. You can be infected simply by going online. Once infected, your computer may restart continuously. http://us.mcafee.com/virusInfo/default.asp?id=description&virus_k=135491

Scan for viruses/adware/spyware in safe mode.\n\nEDIT:\nThat program put something in the regristry that made it keep coming back. You should also scan the registry for thtat.

a worm in simple terms is a malicious program that opens a hole in your system allowing someone to enter you system without authorization.\n\nyou should be careful about what antivirus you download, there are some fake antivirus shich say they detect a virus/spyware on your computer but ask you to buy the license to get rid of it. In a great deal of these there is no such virus/spyware, its just a trick to get you to buy their software.\n\ntry another antivirus, look for them on www.cnet.com you can get a reference there. Or take your pc to a tech center so they can check on it.\n\nI presonally use Norton antivirus!

Try running a virus scan to quarantine the virus. You can also visit http://symantec.com/ if you know the name of the Trojan to see if they have a fix.

No, rebooting will actually make it grow stronger. Viruses work by taking one file on your computer and spreading to every single file. It is a slow process and thus called "virus." The only way to get rid of them is to have a virus remover, manually clean the viruses or reformat your hard drive.
