babybocky Posted June 9, 2004 Report Share Posted June 9, 2004 Hi Gang: I am a newbie at computer and I need help on removing of the worm agobot.wf which is attacking my system 32\smsc.exe file, and I cannot remove it or clean it. Mcafee does not have any update for this new virus and stinger cannot find it either. Only trendmicro-housecall AV found it but does have a fix yet. :angry: Thanks for your helpBB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ellas Posted June 9, 2004 Report Share Posted June 9, 2004 looks like you have to replace your host files and registry settings, http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcen...n!poly.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babybocky Posted June 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 FYI: it is confirmed that the worm agobot.wf attacked my computer. It disabled my AV, msconfig, 3-4 different software. The worm also will not allow me to restart in safe mode. Trendmicro's, stinger's and Norton's removal tool did not help. My IT department is reloading the McAfee AV and hoping for a fix it tool. I will keep you in touch.BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
