Win32:Korgo-N Worm

I need some help removing this worm from my laptop. I clicked on the repair button but it would not repair. Please help.

Use delete or move to chest. Worms cannot be repaired since they don’t infect anything,they are just loaded into the system (copied). Its the same with trojans [Trj]

Repairing is only possible if it is a true virus. With other malware (worms, trojans, spyware, adware and such) the only remedy is to remove the files.

You may want to take a look HERE for definitions.

As you can see in the virus library (start avast > menu > virus library) Avast can not repair the infected file(s).

I suggest you send it to the virus chest.
When it is there make sure it is indeed malware. (run a online scanner like JOTTI to scan the chest folder.
If it is indeed malware, and I think it is, delete it from the virus chest.

That should solve the problem.

In addition you may want to read THIS page for aditional information on how to clean/secure a system.

Let us know if the problem is solved or not. And remember:
There is no need to rush. Take your time. Better slow and safe than fast and still in trouble :wink:
