Details all plus removal tool if required, but Tanya is XP? If so, not a threat.

yeah this virus is really nothing except to users of Microsoft SQL Server 2000. it's purpose is to overload servers. in fact even if it did infect, a simple reboot removes it because it does not write anything to the hard drive. Kapersky antivirus on Tanya's pc effectively stopped it anyway. a simple patch from Microsoft fixes Microsoft SQL Server 2000 from being infected.

scary thing about this virus though was in early 2003, it spread so fast that it basically shut down 25% of the internet across the world!!:eek:
