Steven L Solomo #1 / 3	backdoor virus I got infected with the Backdoor Optixpro.12 virus. If I follow instructions, my computer reboots, and NO .exe file will load. Thank god for GOBACK, otherwise I'd be hosed. The instructions for removing this virus mention an entry in my regedit. It doesn't exist so I can't remove it. HELP!

If your virus scanner claims you are infected, yet you don't have any of the other symptoms besides that of a virus scanner clanging it's alarm bells, its quite possible you have a false alarm rather than a real virus. Use another virus scanner's free trial, or where offered, online web based scanner, to get a second opinion. (http://housecall.antivirus.com is good but only use this as your second opinion if your scanner is not made by trend, otherwise its not a second opinion).

Steven L Solomo #3 / 3	backdoor virus I tried MacAfee too. I also tried to remove the infected file, "winampw.exe" in my c:\windows\ directory. If I remove that file, no .exe file will load.
