Hi Neon,

First of all, how come your laptop cannot start? Have you called up ur laptop service centre to check with them?

It could due to one of your laptop hardware problem which is faulty. My advise is to call up the service centre to check with them and if necessary, bring down to the service centre for them to check. Do not open the laptop as it's sensitive and it's different from a desktop pc.

Question

learn more about the worm.
u need to close ur port to stop this worm.
maybe download the worm n try it out?
see how ur firewall helps.

u noe how antivirus work?btw i dun like mcafee.
mcafee can do anything wif this worm when i 1st posted.
ya rite,i dun use anti-virus cuz nobody spread old virus.
it's only the new virus tat we need to be aware of and anti-virus cant really help.ur system would proly have crash b4 u get to update ur 'norton anti-virus of macfee'

when i 1st gotten this virus,MacAfee wasnt even aware.the only webby tat got some update is f-secure.

my firewall smoke out this worm n put it to sleep and i kill it manually.

Hi Bliss,

Are u using WinXP? If so, then you are being infected with the current worm. You can go to microsoft update website to download two patches to patch up the loophole.

This is the solution given by Microsoft and it worked.

A piece of advise for you. If you have Norton Antivirus, update your virus definition files regularly and update your firewall too to prevent from further attack!

Hope this advise is useful to you. Thanks!

Hi Bliss,

The anti virus software function is to quarantine the virus if the virus happen to attack your pc. However to make sure that the virus is no longer in your pc, you can go to the antivirus software to download the removal tools to clean off the virus.
