Can someone PLEASE help me?! I am using a PC running Windows 98, and I got an e-mail virus called VBS/SST@MM. The infected file is in C:\WINDOWS\Temporary Internet. I am using McAfee virus scan, and when I click on CLEAN it says that it can't do it and that I shold delete the infected file and reinstall the program from my hard disk. Then when I click on DELETE it says that it may be deleted already, and it won't delete it. How do I get rid of this virus!?!? PLEASE someone help me!!
Thank you!!

Do not format!

If the file is really in the \TIF folder, go to IE and empty the browser cache.

Since it is a VBS virus, it would appear you are behind in your security updates. Go to Windows update and apply all related to security.

Also, download and install Script Sentry.

It's the easiest way to block scripting (and other) type viruses.

I think I've got a virus, I don't know what its called or how to find out what it's called. But the effects of it are that it's sending blank e-mails to my friends, infecting them too. My computer has slowed down loads which might also be a effect of the virus, plus I'm having difficulties getting on and staying on the net!! I have not got much clue about computer jargon so if I do get a reply please be as simple as you can. I'm getting stressed, I need my computer to do my A-lavels. PLEASE HELP ME SOMEONE!!!! Ps I think the virus was on the news!

I have a virus I can't get rid of. It spreads through instant messages. It shows up as an instant message but it sends itself. It shows up as a link, but its a virus. I've tried to use Norton Antivirus, but that didn't end it. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know, thanks
