cure for W32.Welchia.Worm virus

[Ajai Singh]

My computer has been infected with the W32.Welchia.Worm
virus. This has been detected by Norton anti virus as
being in C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\TFTP420
Domain Name : WORKGROUP
System Name : AJAI-FUS9FOF7FK
User Name : System

The NAV has been unable to repair the virus and I shall be
grateful if anyone could help me in clearing the virus and
checking for damage done / repairing the same.

Thank you.

will help you purge the infection from the machine. From there you should
apply Microsoft's critical update of 823980 so that it doesn't come back.

Cheers,

PS - 823980 can be acquired through the windows update site.

Since NAVE was able to detect then it's probably able to quarantine it too.
You should tell it to do just that.
