Today one of our public computers was infected with a "flip" virus =
(actually, I guess it's really a worm). I should say that we protect =
all of our workstations with Norton Anti-Virus and this one had all but =
the very latest (yesterday's) updates on it. But, around 11:30 this =
morning, the desktop and everything else turned upside down - nothing =
catastrophic, just annoying. I followed the advice from Symantec, I =
tried removing the infected files manually. I tried deleting the files =
from the registry. Every time I deleted them, they came back. I know =
I'm missing something obvious. Any help would be appreciated!
