Hello,

A few days ago I caught the W32.Virut.cf virus
I am trying to remove it but it keeps coming back. I have Norton antivirus
2009.
Anyway since the time I found the virus I can not access Windows Update and
every antivirus website (Symantec, Mcafee and others) but I can access every
other website. when I try to access the windows Update webpage I just get
that white page that says that Internet Explorer can not open the site. Do
you know anyway that I can access the Windows Update website concerning my
problem?
I have winXP Professional.
I am writing to this Newsgroup from another computer.
Norton antivirus finds the infected files, says it repairs them but they
keep coming back.
I don't know what to do anymore.

Any help concerning the virus or the update page will be very appreciated
since I am trying to do anything possible to solve my problem and I also
want
to download the latest windows updates.

Thank you in advance.
Dimitris

Asked and answered in the microsoft.public.security.homeusers newsgroup.
Please don't multipost; it makes more work for everyone and will get you
*less* help, not more. See this for why:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossposting
http://www.blakjak.demon.co.uk/mul_crss.htm - multiposting

If you have questions about my answer to you in the other newsgroup please
ask them in that thread. I won't be monitoring this one.
