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.
