Howdy:

First, get rid of KaZaa and mIRC as that is how it spreads and infected your system.. Then, go to the following url and follow the removal instructions EXACTLY !!

You don't have to worry about mIRC if you don't have it installed.. However, quite a few of those realtime messaging programs such as ICQ use mIRC so be careful about them..

I keep getting this message on all of the computers running XP.
Scan type: Realtime Protection Scan
Event: Virus Found!
Virus name: W32.Spybot.Worm

None of the computers have EVER had KaZaa and I've scanned for mIRC which none of them have. Since we are constantly connected to the internet, is this virus trying to get in through the Server? If we don't have Kazaa on the server, why is it coming in? Am I missing something? Thanks.
