Assistance please?

HiJaak This is not for virus removal. Which OS are you running and what is the name of your virus scan program? You could try downloading and running Avast from here: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download1968.html

Checkout this info from Symantec: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.ronoper.worm.html

 

Would not stay connected to the net too much longer:

W32.Ronoper.Worm will try to terminate the processes of several antivirus programs. It also sends user information such as you user name, nickname, password, and IP address to a specified Web site. W32.Ronoper.Worm is written in Delphi and uses ICQ to spread.

Try a small removal tool maybe like Mcaffee Stinger in our anti virus section. I think what chaslang was trying to point out is the instructions, most importantly, is your Mcafee up to date with its virus definitions? Mcaffees page reads the same, update definitions, disable system restore:

That's exactly what I was trying to do Major. And now since we know that McAfee is the virus scanner and you have given the link to McAfee's page, theyellowdart should see that the minimum virus definitions required is 4266 which is quite old (meaning this is a relatively old virus).

Yellowdart, What definitions version were you running.

 

Agreed! Problem is a lot of people get these 90 day subscriptions and think they have free antivirus and are protected, so it never hurts, like now, to remind people, your antivirus is only as good as its updates and thats what they charge you for every year on average. I have seen anti virus programs YEARS out of date!

 

You previously said you are using McAfee. What is your scan engine version and what virus definitions version do you have?

By the way WinXP safe mode is not dos safe mode, it is windows safe mode. Are you sure you booted to safe mode and performed a full system (scan all files) scan?
