Question KAKWORM virus help req'd

G'day,
I need a bit of help please!!
Recently I rec'd an e-mail which contained the KAKWORM virus. I deleted the e-mail, then cleared the recycle bin etc... However, the system said it could not 'repair' the problem and only performed a quarentine of the virus.
How do I kill it?? I don't think it has corrupted anything...YET, but would like to get rid of it B4 anything can happen

Any tips would be helpful, thanks in advance,
GG

Quarantine is (I'm guessing) Norton Anti Virus terminology. If so run NAV (start * programs * Norton/Symantec * NAV. Dig around for a page called quarantine, select the attachment and then choose delete.
