Subject: Warning phony Microsoft Security Patch!!

Author: David Mays

Two days ago I opened an attachment from what I thought was Microsoft update
patch, since i have been in living hell trying to get rid of it, first the virus
completely destroyed Norton Internet security, when I try to access Norton I get
a phony error exception message, I noticed that suddenly my outlook express went
haywire and started randomly mailing to who I don't know. Eventually I was able
to uninstall norton security and reinstall, I then ran the virus scan which
detected 9 virus which have been cleaned from the system, the damaged to my
system that I can so far see is that I have this daily Adult movies pORN iCON ON
MY dESKTOP, i HAVE RAN Adware removal about twenty times but the Same 182 bugs
found keep reappearing even after i delete them, I discovered they magically
appear whenever i start up internet explorer, i do a rescan and the same 182
bugs that were there before come back. Also I no longer have access to System
Restore, whenever i try to access it the area is completely missing from the box
it should be at and I get an error message. Also I cannot even run Regedit from
the Startup button. Therefore I cannot even  execute the number 1 instructtion
on the norton site for removal, which is to turn off system restore.  I know
this is not the forum for this question but I saw some post from mike byrne he
seemed to have the same problem, also i have been getting dozens of emails from
microsoft with the virus attached,  Help please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
