Cheers I already have the KAK cleaner and its telling me I don't have the KAK worm. I'm not sure how to access the files and delete them.
Thanks again. BTW I'm not using OE but Mozilla

hhm, seems to be a few variants of this... I haven't seen an infection of this type for some time, but doesn't mean its not around.

Thanks a lot

No joy. I've downloaded the removal tool again and its telling me I haven't got the KAK worm. There are instructions for removing the worm from Windows 95 and 98 but not for XP. It says the worm doesn't work on XP.
Anyone help?
Thanks

try the free windows anti spyware in safe mode, or run your anti virus in safe mode

Thanks, just been checking my Norton settings as I can't access certain sites such as E Bay;
Privacy Control on
Ad Blocking on
Norton Anti Spam on
Parental Control Off
Are these set right? No kids at home.

take a look at your hosts file

it should only have the line local host.

some malware/viruses add Norton and others to the blocked list so you cannot update

Run AV in safe mode. Tried allsorts but still get the KAK start up screen, yet it tells me I haven't got the KAK worm. Can anyone help? I'm not that clued up to start messing with advanced settings etc.
Thanks
