O.P. MSN Messenger Worm Removal
Hi,

From what I have heard this is a rapidly spreading threat, which automatically sends itself to everybody on your contact list. I got sent a file called 'Best_Friend.scr' by one of my contacts and it turned out to be a .exe file and a virus. I have read up on the entire virus and removal instructions on http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/ven...w32.yaha.k@mm.html.

I am not sure this is the actual virus I have, but it is either this or something VERY similar.

I got to removal instruction number 3 (copying Regedit.exe to Regedit.com), but when I go Start > Run > command, the MS DOS application will not let me type in it on my laptop, but it does on this PC? (This is in Safe Mode).

Any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
