Anyone please help me I have the W32.Wierd viruse in my com. and I dont know how to get rid of it acording to norton I do this:
1. Insert a clean DOS floppy disk or Windows Startup disk into the floppy disk drive, and restart the computer.
2. At the prompt type the following two commands, pressing Enter after each one:
c:
cd windows
dir *.exe /a:h
All .exe files in the \Windows folder that have the hidden attribute are displayed.
NOTE: If Windows is installed in a different location, make the appropriate substitution when typing the first command.
3. Look for a file with a size of 10,240 bytes. The name of the file is generated by taking the computer name on the infected system and changing some of the characters. Write down the name of this file.
4. Type the following, and then press Enter after each one:
attrib <file name from step 3> -h
del <file name from step 3>
5. Type the following two commands, pressing Enter after each one:
del wininit.ini
del wininit.bak
6. Restart the computer.
7. Start Norton AntiVirus, and run LiveUpdate.
8. Run a full system scan. Attempt to repair any files that are infected with W32.Weird. If they cannot be repaired, you must delete them and restore them from a clean backup copy, or reinstall the deleted file.
But you see the part that I do the `del <file name from step 3>`
That is the part were you delete the virus, When I do what It says it will say `File creation error` I think I must have a write protect thing that will not allow me to delete it. I know I wrote the file correctly but it just says `file creation error` Someone please if you know how to fix my problem please e-mail me at
