For some users this occurs when they try to start their computer, for some it appears when they try to open a particular file or folder, and for some it happens whenever they click anything. Because this virus so severely impacts Windows XP functionality, you have to run a repair from your original installation CD to remove it.

4 Click "Repair" when prompted to fix any virus(es) the disc detects. This will not erase any of your saved data.
