It appeears my PC is virus infested at the moment... 293 of them. Some Worm named PE_JEEF.A that locks up everything and won't allow ANY .exe's to open.

Until I get it sorted I'm not gonna be on much. I really really hope its sorted soon.

See you later.

This virus had infected every executable file on my hard drive. It closed programs before they could be opened. So virus scanners couldn't help...

I went onto Sophos site and got a program designed and made specifically for killing the Jeefo virus.

280 of em are gone. The last 13 Im gonna delete manually.
Nice to back so soon :P

God is good.

I found the problem, got a removal program for it and used it. What the program didnt get rid of I deleted.
No virus problems since :P

my gosh, i'm so sorry. must have been tiresome. gah, well, i've got Norton Antivirus and Personal Firewall protecting my compy... but if my beloved compy ever got a horrid worm like that...I would just reinstall windows xp. OR, do what you did and delete all of it manually, and then burn the files i want onto cds. then reinstall xp. so that my computer would be pure...but that's me... : ) glad to hear all is well, though.

Im glad reinstalling wasn't needed. It pays to check the net for answers before you start wiping things. I went to google and typed in the name of the virus PE_JEEFO.A and on the first page of results found a program to fix it!
