Virus: w32.netsky.p.dam got attached to one of my files
in C:document and settings\felipe\localsetting.

How do I get into safe mode or other to separate virus
from file? By doing so, I can then run Norton anti=virus
and eliminate this worm.

Or is there another method ?

Special note if you use AOL:

America Online installs its own connection settings that override
the ones that come with Windows XP. America Online's
connection settings don't include a way to turn on Windows XP's
built-in firewall.

Visit the following web site for instructions on downloading
a FREE firewall program for your computer.
