But Symantec generally knows what they're doing. Evil, could this possibly be a better solution for removing Virut? If you are indeed infected, don't do anything without consultation with a professional (EvilFantasy) first.There is no miracle cure for this. All of the major antivirus have a removal tool for Virut but they don't work.Quote W32.Virut!html This is only the inline frame version of Virut, and it is easy to remove. Just edit the source code of the HTML file and remove the frame.What about the malicious files it installs? Do you believe that malware is actually that neat and tidy?Heck no.
