Hello,
My PC is infected with the w32.weird worm en has attached most of my exe files. Norton gives a solution on their site but it doesn't works on my PC. Does someone have an idea how to get rid of it?

hi john,
w32.weird is an alias of the Kuang trojan.
here's some info:
look for these files:
Kuang2v.exe - 55,993 bytes Wininit.ini - Wininit.bak - Explorer.e- 10,240 bytes - 11,264 bytes
its a remote Access / trojan dropper where
Explorer.exe is replaced by Explorer.e when the computer is restarted and also allows remote access to the infected computer.
for more info go to www.thepublicworks.com security section and link to simovits consulting> trojans by name.
also go to wilders.org and download a free 30 day trial of Trojan Hunter and scan completely.
then do a trojan and port scan at pcflank to make sure you are clean.
hope this helps,
murve

According to Norton Anti-Virus, W32.Weird has infected 3 .exe files on my system. Fortunately, none are critical. I have them quarantined.

Symantec's fix does not work for me either. I cannot locate any of the files mentioned neither in their W32.Weird fix nor in murve's Kuang trojan post.

I find this puzzling and a little unsettling.

Thanks for your help!
