I have the iworm virus. I have just run hijack this. Please could someone help me with this?
Thank you

Looks like there's a remover on this page
http://www.k7computing.com/newsinfo/Nimda.htm
It's about 1/2 way down the page
Give it a shot and post backHopefully my advice will help you...Please post back with your results....thanks

I'm not sure if this is the actual worm. I keep getting a message that I have iworm_attck_v122.02a on a pop-up as well as a whole bunch of other popups that are driving me crazy. When I first go to IE Explorer it seems to have configured the home page to about:blank, then it goes to another website called theguardservices.com and I get a smaller window that pops up saying Warning your PC is infected with spyware....browser version....."
Everytime I try to change the hompage back to what I want it goes back to this same theguardservices page.
Thanks for all your help...I'm not sure if I should still download the fix you suggested. I was a bit vague in my previous explanation. Would it help if I posted the reg details from the HIJACk this report out of notepad?

Use the usual cleaners:
Spybot S&D
Adaware SE
CCleaner
ATF-Cleaner
Stinger
make sure they are up-dated before you scan.
Then try a free On-line Spyware Scan
and remove all it finds
Then I would try an on-line scan with bitdefender
post back if you still have problems
Hopefully my advice will help you...Please post back with your results....thanks

Hi-Jack This analyzerHopefully my advice will help you...Please post back with your results....thanks

Temporarlily disable Norton's script blocking before running the following tools or the fixes may not work. Also disable real time protection for any of these anti spyware tools that you may have by following the directions at this link Real Time Protection You can reset Noton's when you are clean along with the others.
Please download http://www.atribune.org/public-beta/VundoFix.exe to your desktop.
Double-click VundoFix.exe to run it. Click the Scan for Vundo button.
Once it's done scanning, click the Remove Vundo button.
You will receive a prompt asking if you want to remove the files, click yes.
Once you click yes, your desktop will go blank as it starts removing Vundo.
When completed, it will prompt that it will shutdown your computer, click ok.
Turn your computer back on.Then go throught he spyware quake removal procedure at this link Spyware Quake Removal
please post a copy of the log located at C:\vundofix.txt and a new HiJackThis log. You still have some other baddies to remove.
