Hi, I have just stupidly accepted a file that pretended to come from a friend. The file was called price.com Nothing happened and I realised it was not from him, i immediately re-boot and noticed it had put a file called wingo.exe in my registry start up, which i have now removed. Does anyone know anything about wingo.exe or price.com, what it does and how i can get rid of it? Norton Antivirus does not recognise it as a virus?? Many thanks in advance. Pete.

Pete: Price.com seems like it's just another Web retailer. See here. Research turns up precious little about wingo.exe, but if you've already removed it--and it's not coming back--I wouldn't worry about. The time for concern is when they continue to replicate, no matter how many times you remove them. 8-) If you're not already, you should install SpywareBlaster and WinPatrol (both freeware)for future protection. The first utility protects against spyware, the second against browser hijackings. Update SB after you install; WinPatrol needs no update (version 8). Solarian

price.com won't be a web address, it will be an executable file (like win.com). Look here: WORM_BAGLE.AT Solution? Try visiting: http://housecall.antivirus.com See if it can find your nasty bug, you've definitely got one. :-(

Very many thanks for your help on this matter. I ran the free checker at housecall and half way through Norton Antivirus burst into life to say that just about every file on my hardrive was infected. (Norton didnt stop the attachment in the begining though). On the help pages at norton it sent me to a web site where there is a beagle removing tool. housecall removed 5 files - the norton one then went through it and removed 232! I think i am clear now - thanks again. For anyone reading this with the same problem the norton remover is at; http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.beagle@mm.removal.tool.html
