    I need some help badly! I've gotten the haxdoor virus and don't know how to remove it. The only virus removal site I could get to was Microsoft's, but I couldn't find the removal instructions for Win 2X. Can someone please, please help me with instructions.

    I'm running Avira software that I just downloaded which found the virus. I can delete it all day but it just keeps coming back. Where/how do I get rid of this thing????

    Thx a ton!

    Thank you. I'm in the process of going thru the Read & Run Me First.

    I'm having trouble with the Windows Defender download though. I'm on Win2X, w/SP4, but it keeps failing to install Defender because it says that I need the 2000 Security Software Prerequisite Package & GDI+. I can't install the GDI+ without the security deal, ....so I'm stuck.

    Can I move on past the Windows Defender and still do an acceptable job of cleaning things up????

    As the READ ME indicates, if you cannot run Windows Defender for any reason, run CounterSpy and attach the log from CounterSpy.
