    I am using NOD 32 Antivirus & updating it regularly.

    But yesterday when I scanned my hard disk, some partitions are showing some viruses.

    How do I remove them if those partitions have the latest virus that would wipe out the data ?

    Are you referring to the MyWife (aka blackworm) virus? Antivirus sigantures should have been updated in anticipation of this virus as of January 23? 27? Either way, today is supposed to be the day when it strikes, so I hope you haven't posted too late and that your signatures have been updated since the above date.

    Of course, if you have existing viruses, they could open the door for others. Back up your data, and visit this thread, to be on the safe side.

    Also, since this is an email worm, practice caution with attachments (particulary ones claiming to be explicit Kama Sutra pictures). It can also spread through network shares, so eliminate as many as possible.
