It's called W32.Gaobot

I'm currently running in safe mode
Norton couldn't delete it and I downloaded a removal tool but before I run it, there's like 15 things I need to do.

Did anybody else get that virus? I really need my computer for school projects and I don't have hours to waste to remove it so if anybody had this virus before please reply

thanks

Did you:
6. If you are running Windows Me or XP, then disable System Restore. Refer to the section, "System Restore option in Windows Me/XP," for additional details.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CAUTION: If you are running Windows Me/XP, we strongly recommend that you do not skip this step. The removal procedure may be unsuccessful if Windows Me/XP System Restore is not disabled, because Windows prevents outside programs from modifying System Restore.

IT was hard cause it would rename itself on every boot & was
burried deep in the pc all over the place c/win/sys, temp dirs, regfiles....etc..

there was like 6 steps & 3 Different Programs needed
had to go in with recovery Mode... after using 1 prog to find the hidden
File .DLL name.. then I had to type Dos commands to remove what could Not be SEEN!

yes I disabled system restore
I guess it is safe mode with network since I'm able to go on the Internet... the thing is I didn't even choose to go in safe mode my computer just always loaded on safe mode

I installed SP2 yesterday and my computer(after 15 minutes) finally loaded normally. I checked if the virus was still there(windws/system32/spool/printers/00015.dll and it was still there

When I try to delete it, it says the file is being used by an other program. I ran the removal tool again and it didn't work

illuminance: I read most of the link that you gave me, are you sure that it will take off the worm I have? it doesn't look like the same problem
 
By the way, Norton is pretty funny. When I got into the printers folder, nothing happened but when I clicked on the file, my friend Norton kindly advised me that there was a virus in my computer

Norton is a big pile of shit
