Virus... 1

[montofri]

My friend has a Sony laptop and the antivirus software found a virus W32/Gibe-f in a file LSETEND.EXE that I deleted in safe mode. Now I can't run a program because they seem to be looking for Windows\LSETEND.EXE. I've looked on my Windows ME computer and I don't have a file by that name on my system... help

Hello,

You have a worm I can give you more info. by giving you this site. My mom got the same thing by the mail it said she needed to download a patch and it was by microsoft so she did. Then she deleted the Norton for some reason then when I tried to install it I couldn't. I thought the only thing that would prevent the installation of an antivirus would be a virus and that's when the fun began. Go to

and check it out.
Keep us updated,
Cindy

Cidy...Thanks for your help. I logged on to Sophos, tracked down the virus and the solution and after quite a lot re-engineering, I got the file registry back to normal and was then able to delete the virus (.exe) file. Your help was really appreciated

You probably got your from your email or Kazaa. Well glad I helped and that you got that nasty pain out. I know it is time consuming.
