Don’t feel lonely! I got this worm while downloading the XP patches from Microsoft. (Think I had another browser window open in the background) The key to removing it is to go to task manager halt the operation where it resides. (in your case DL4tost.EXE) before running the inoculation, but I am sure the link provided in the last message will probably address that. Good luck, it’s an evasive little worm but fortunately it is not very destructive.
