Hello,

I got the virus VBS.Redlof.A, that is with two files folder.htt & desktop.ini, which is started spreading all over the network (LAN).

I scanned the system with latest version of Norton and deleted all from quaranteen of the norton.

Now the problem is, Mycomputer icon of the desktop is not showing any of the drives (C:, D:, E:local drives).

And giving error message as " Was virus destroyed ? ". this message will come whenever I double click the my computer.

Please help me out.

I was not getting any virus removal tools from teh internet.

How to solve the problem ?

Its urgent.

thanks
Pat

Apparently there are some further steps necessary to clean up the mess left behind acording to Norton.
