The virus you have sounds like the w95.hybris.gen.

check out http://service1.symantec.com/sarc/sarc.nsf/html/pf/w95.hybris.gen.html

This one infected alot of our workstations. Takes a few minutes to fix, but damage is pretty low.

Don't worry it's fixable.

cheers.

But, you ve to know, that all ANTIVIRUS FIRMS are very inteligent, because they all give removal instructions from WINDOWS REGISTER BASE, but with this virus, you can't see anything on screen !!!

So, I did it by Scanning the Hard drive with new virus definition (7 january)!!!

But i would like to know, how a basic user with only one PC will done it !?

Thank a lot guys

I hope one day we could do everything with another operating system (Windows is so beautifull now, but often "frustrating ?" system

Sorry for my Frenchy English
