This worm is particularly evil, so I think we should continue to discuss it.
(I plead guilty to the 'start a new thread' ploy)

The worm gets deep into the registry, but you can't use regedit.exe because any exe file ACTIVATES the little shit.
Both these sites give info, and McAfee gives about 4 pages of instructions on how to get it out. (you run regedit as a bat file).

Wayne's method of reformatting the hard drive will also work, but a bit severe.
Plus, I think this one is going to be coming around a lot, so it behooves us to be prepared.
And THAT can lead to the question of how one protects their data. I personally use DriveImage4 and duplicate the whole computer, OS and all. Yes, it takes a while.

BTW, has anyone found a patch to close holes in Microsoft Office ???
Searching the Microsoft site can take years.
