final fix for Look2me
Look2me attached itself to one of my system32 files. It would not allow me to delete it as long as windows was running. This was the fix: I had to go into the Bios and change the boot order so both the floppy drive and my CD drive booted before the hard drive. I then got a set of XP boot up discs from a friend. (they are available on the net from various sites for a small fee). From these discs I was able to put in a command to delete the infected 2 files. My PC now runs like it use to and no more constant pop-ups. Norton did not stop this virus and my pop-up blocker could not stop the ads.
