Virus Attack

[George]

From: Confused !
Somehow the virus W95.Spaces.1445 has entered my computer,
my Norton Virus check could not delete it. On their site
they tell me 'it can not work on XP' If so why did it try
to delete it, Norton pop up window stated "Repair Failed".
I gather this particular virus is triggered on June 1st
of each year. My question is, is the virus still on my
computer, if so how do I get rid of it. On the Symantec
site it states this virus is very dangerous and until the
trigger date hides itself in the memory very effectively.
Is there any computer genius out there who can help.
