FredOften when users of this forum post about malware I answer by giving them a link to a couple scanners. However, sometimes, depending on my perception of the severity of the malware, I recommend they get professional assistance. In your case, this sounds like a rootkit. Additionally, if you share a network with others there is a good chance those computers are infected as well since you have seen a message about a worm malware. Unlike most forms of malware, worms are capable of self replicating through a network or shared media. These types of malware are a true virus. The term virus is often, but erroneously, used to describe other forms of malware. However, only a true virus is capable of self replicating.I recommend you post your issue in the Virus/Malware section of the forum on the link below. You must create an account to post.
