Hello there, Can you help me? I have the same problem. This virus I identified yesterday as Agobot and thought I'd successfully got rid of it as I disabled the startup of the file BPC.exe in msconfig. However, when I logged on today, I cannot open regedit, msconfig and my Norton AntiVirus 2004 is permanently disabled (it was working before I turned my computer off!). Below is my HIJACK THIS LOG: Logfile of HijackThis v1.97.7 Scan saved at 17:46:22, on 02/04/2004 Platform: Windows XP SP1 (WinNT 5.01.2600) MSIE: Internet Explorer v6.00 SP1 (6.00.2800.1106) Running processes: C:\WINDOWS\System32\smss.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\winlogon.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\services.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\lsass.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\ccSetMgr.exe C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\ccEvtMgr.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\spoolsv.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\cisvc.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\crypserv.exe C:\Program Files\Norton AntiVirus\navapsvc.exe C:\Program Files\Norton AntiVirus\AdvTools\NPROTECT.exe C:\Program Files\Norton AntiVirus\SAVScan.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\snmp.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\CCPD-LC\symlcsvc.exe C:\WINDOWS\Explorer.exe C:\Program Files\QuickTime\qttask.exe C:\Program Files\Cherry\KeyMan\KeyMan.exe C:\Program Files\Common Files\Real\Update_OB\realsched.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\SBLHOST.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\ctfmon.exe C:\Program Files\WinZip\WZQKPICK.exe C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\cidaemon.exe C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.exe C:\Documents and Settings\Stuart Graham\My Documents\HijackThis.exe C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\MSIMN.exe R1 -

This sounds more like Xabot.worm to me. Hit Ctrl+Alt+Delete and tell me if your Task manager is disabled also. If it is, we will go from there. I just removed this one from my own computer last night.

"I'd successfully got rid of it as I disabled the startup of the file BPC.exe in msconfig" While you have disable it at startup you did not get rid of it. Info, recommendations and removal instructions here: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.gaobot.gen!poly.html
