My computer was infected with this worm. I have deleted
the files infected. When I use IE6 now I have problems
going to certain web pages and cannot access my bank
account online. It won't open link pages at different
sites. What does this worm do and can I reinstall IE6 to
fix the problem or should I format the hard drive and
start over?

One can successfully delete a virus file, but that does nothing
to correct the damage to the operating system files which the
virus has already damaged.

Have you checked to see if your anti-virus provider has a removal tool for
this virus? That will usually do more cleanup than just deleting infected
files.

There are some new varieties of this worm that have hit big time
recently. I would make sure you change any passwords for online banking
accounts.
