Checking and Removal of Viruses: Download a frequently updated, free, easy to use and fast to download virus checking program called NAI Stinger. If Stinger reports but fails to clean out a Virus (certain Netsky variants) please visit Sophos Disinfection for a removal utility for a specific virus. If your particular virus variant is newer than any listed, try the latest one that is offered. The above utilities do have configuration screens. It is worthwhile to take a second to look at these. These settings are generally OK to use "out of the box" but can be set to be more inclusive (all files) and the actions taken have differing degrees of severity (report only, clean, delete) that you might wish to customize.
