What an awful virus to remove ...I just had remove it from son's laptop  ...not
particulary harmful -- but it has a nasty habit of shutting the machine every 5
minutes -- not quite lokng enough to get the necessary update ...

Here's the tip of the day -- it gives you 60 seconds before shutting down ...go
to the start menu, select run and type without the quotes "shutdown -a" it will
sbort the shutdown and then run the antivirsus software install the Windows
security patches.

2nd tip, have MS update the security patches automatically (under Win2k and
WinXP) under the comtrol panel.  I thought I had my son's set - but it was off.
