Thats what we are looking for Xeroid. Those patches will fix you up real good. You should use both links to remove/prevent the virus. Good Luck!

There are manual fixes he can try to hopefully allow him to d/load the patch. Try the Symantec site Xeroid listed for some ideas.

You may have to talk him through them on the phone.

Cheers
Mick

64-bit will only be on Itanium CPU. So if CPU is a P4, Athlon or anything else, winXP will be 32 bit.

Cheers

Send a message via AIM to Arcuivie
He could just boot in safe mode and remove the file manually.
