[shanenin]

I came to my computer this morning totell me norton removed a virus/worm

http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcen...pybot.worm.html

according to the document this is spread thru kazaa. I do not even use kazaa. The only file trading I was doing was uploading "star trek voyager" using bittorrent. I am not even sure if bittotrrent was the way I got this. I always assumbed it was fairly safe to use bittorrent to download avi files, i have never had any problem in the past.

I have a questin about the entries the symantec guide gives. Below is an except

# In the right pane, reset the original value, if known:

"Start" = "4"

# Navigate to the subkey:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa

# In the right pane, reset the original value, if known:

"restrictanonymous" = "1"

# Navigate to the subkey:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\

parameters

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanworkstation\

parameters

# In the right pane, reset the original values, if known:

"AutoShareWks" = "0"

"AutoShareServer" = "0"

# Navigate to the subkey:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate

# In the right pane, reset the original value, if known:

"DoNotAllowXPSP2" = "1"

I do not have all of thes keys, do you think I am supposed to add a key?

assumbing bittorent was the problem, I soved that by using my linux box for all of my file sharing needs. I should have done this a long time ago.
