  • Go to a clean system.
  • Create a bootable cd with Avast for dos on it
  • Go to your own system
  • Put in the cd and boot from it
  • Run Avast and let it clean your system
  • See if you can boot Windows again
  • If not, do a repair of the OS or do a clean installation

Hello monya,

This virus spreads from a floppy. If you use diskettes scan them, because they can easily be reinfected. Removal details as in general for worms:
