Angry W32/Kenston-1895.X...any ideas how to get rid of it...

On a recent scan found I had said same virus. Found little on line to make me any the wiser so I thought you the learned ones might help me out.
W32/Kenston-1895.X is the name of the virus, anybody know where I can find a dissinfectant for it??
Here's hoping.............

Silky,

At least Kenston is not a Destructive Virus. You can use this free online scanner to get rid of it:

Silky, two good answers there, but I've a question for you.

Whichever Anti-virus scanner you used to tell you that the virus was present on the computer, did it not offer to delete, disinfect, quarantine or otherwise neutralise it for you?

Hardly worth using if it didn't. In the present climate, we all need to put powerful anti-virus and firewall software at the top of our priorities.
