[QUOTE=DaveSW]Crunchie, this is my guess. How close am I?
Complete Novice, please wait for Crunchie or some other knowledgable person to repsond here before following these instructions.
Check the following:
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [winupdt] RUNDLL32.EXE c:\windows\atmupdate.dll,_mainRD

Should i leave this one untouched then?

Cheers for the help, but i still have the I-Worm Mubatu.A virus in a system restore point.

rgds,

cn

I think Crunchie means that only that one of the 016 entries needs to go. So the 04 entry needs to go.

With the restore point, I would normally turn off system restore to remove the virus. However this will leave you without a system restore point, so you can probably turn it off and then turn it back on again, and create a new system restore point on your hopefully clean pc.

Hijackthis is a tool used to scan your PC. You then post it on the security web site and an experienced techie can determine if you have problems with your pc.......at first i found it difficult to grasp but as each post goes on, understanding evolves. I'll get there some day.
You'll find a link to hijackthis in most threads on the security forum
