My wife has 2 worms that have been quarantined by AVG. Generic worm BAF + BAG.
Both are isolated but unhealable.
I googled the worm and ended up at the Sophos website, followed the repair to the letter but the worm is still there.
Where in the registery will I find the worm? Do I use "regedit"?
Something is causing major lag, unopenable anti-virus and I.E. to freeze.
Virus scans are clean as are spyware. Both have been run in safe mode. As soon as you go back to normal then the above faults still exist.
O.S. is XP-pro.

Sophos found it and repaired the worm.
Can someone supply a link "how to reformat Windows XP" when the OS was pre-installed?
System restore would not work on any date, probably due to the nature of the worm. Its purpose is to attack anti-virus programmes.
For the moment it seems that her PC is safe. It took a few attempts in DOS with Sophos to attain the results.
Thanks for the help, all that replied.
ps. It was not in the start-up folder @ msconfig and I could not find it in the registry. Possibly because I did not know where to look.
