My Norton Antivrus 2007 continuously detect the problem fo the virus.
I follow the steps from Symantec to remove the virus. but every time, the
websites are added into my favourtit folders and sometimes a new browser
suddenly pop up.
The speed of my PC lag... I am using Windows XP Home Edition & IE6.
I also used Ad=Aware SE to delete the spyware but the problem still exist.
Can someone help me?

Hi,

Please tell us which steps you follow (where you got them and whcih they
were). I can't find anything about Infostealer.Linage ...

In addition: a virus is not the same thing as a spyware...

Kind regards

Hans

So How Did I Get Infected Anyway?
For quite a few people it's by installing Messenger Plus, whose default
install is loaded with malware. See also:

Don't ever do a "default" install of anything. Always choose Custom and see
what else is being carried along.
