I have a Dell P4 running XP. I recently picked up a downloader.tooncom virus that is identified as an exploit in Windows Media Player. I have Norton Anti Virus Pro 2004 and Spybot and Pest Patrol, but none of them can remove this virus. Does anyone have any idea how I can get rid of it? It seems to reside in the boot sector somewhere. I have done numerous scans with System Restore OFF, but to no avail.
Thanks in advance for any advice---Aero96
