Answer 2

worm2007.exe - WORM_SOHANAD.AG

It's a worm that is used in a IM conversation. I say solutions. Restore the computer to an earlier state. Do not delete all files on your computer, called a system restore. So go to Start, All programs, System tools. Click system restore. Then find a time to restore it too. Perfer a little before the virus came. I had 2 virus's and Couldnot delete them!! Anti virus, norton, spyware adware officer, etc. I tried and said File cannot be deleted. So I just restored to an earlier time. After you do that, I suggest strongly that you Install Norton- Anti Virus. The search for any Virus's
and delete them!!

Any more questions?

Thank you,
