NAV issued two virus definition releases today...

one early today via IU and one not too long ago via LU.

this W32.Blaster.Worm was covered in the LU release.

imo, users who wait around for weekly updates are creating a vulnerability that many virus writers are exploiting

you might try booting into safe mode, hoping that the worm/trojan will not load, then running a virus scan from there.

from the sound of your message, NAV has found the infection. but i don't know anything beyond that. are you following the removal instructions?

good luck
