worm/virus keeps coming back...

[patrick49]

AVG detects these viruses but keeps on coming back the day after or even a few hours after healing/deleting/moving to vault. All of which are found in the same directory 'c:/documents and setting/all users/documents/'. Every folder in that directory is infected and seem to have a 'folder_name.exe' file in each.. These files are removed during healing but still keeps on coming back as what I have said..I don't know what to do anymore.. Please help..

the viruses detected were:

VB.GU
VB.GB
VB.GH
BRONTOK.EE
BRONTOK.C

wow, you still remember?

i don't have a choice.. i have no job, no credit cards, no bank accounts.. all i have is my computer.. i just want her to be fine..

No chance w/o SP2. You are walking around with a BIG target on your back and you can't figure out why people are shooting at you.

i don't have a choice.. i have no job, no credit cards, no bank accounts.. all i have is my computer.. i just want her to be fine..

Then try some flavor of Linux...Windows systems require money to keep in shape (even if it is just an initial outlay for a legit copy...with Vista that can be substantial). The basics for Linux are free...

i read about it.. and i'm quite confused on how or what or where to get it?
