Many thanks for the info on this Hugs. Discovered last night that I had the blasted thing and my Norton couldn't delete either.
Have followed the links and downloaded hardcopy info & programs onto floppy to take home this evening.
Steps to take:
a) Switch off "system restore"
b) install patch
c) install fix.
d) reboot
e) switch "system restore facility" back on.
Think I've got the above in right order but will study hardcopy later. Not being too up-to-speed on the techy side of pc's I would have been totally lost without yr links. Real Catch-22 when you need to go on-line to get the fixes but the worm keeps closing down the pc. Hence need for floppys to repair off-line.
Thanks again
