Hi - probably best to post virus questions to
microsoft.public.security.virus.

See http://securityresponse.symantec.com...ta/junkie.html

Hello
Boot the computer from the xp cd when prompted press R to go to repair mode,
at the c:\windows> prompt, type "fixmbr" and press enter. you'll get a
warning message which you can accept, and that's it. Just reboot the system

Hope This Helps
