On my computer at work my colleagues and I are being affected by I-Worm/Opas.D. We have a LAN but it is only affecting 2 users. Can anyone help me remove this? PS can you also help me to restore my computer to normal from safe mode?
Thanks
James

First remove the virus. There is a free antivirus program called AVG Antivirus and it does a fine job. If you're on a network, you'll have to get permission from the Big Boss :)) Now after you remove it, form safe mode, go to a dos prompt and type Scanreg*space*\Restore. This will give you the option to restore your puter to any one of the last 5 days it worked. Pick a date that you know it worked and hit restore. You 2 guys better get a flu shot if viruses only like you.

Go to the following link for excellent information on this worm and how to remove it.

This worm affects PC's with network shares and can be removed with various up to date anti-virus programs such as AVG mentioned previously.

Review the link above for information on how to remove the virus by hand if necessary and it also has a link to Microsoft on a security patch fix for Windows 9X network shares.


Good luck,
Leo
