Help! (Not the Beatles Song)

Well last night my brother decided to throw his going away party, and needless to say i was pretty fucked up. Anyways i get on MSN and my friend sends me a picture, and im drunk so i didnt think too much of it...well it was a virus and now my whole computer is fucked. So if someone can suggest some ideas on how to get rid of it....or if you have a Product Key for Norton Antivirus 2005, it would be much appreciated.

Suprisingly, this is the only site i can go to without the window being automatically shut :rolleyes:

download McAfee Stinger, it will scan for the main viruses, such as ones that get sient via msn, that 9 times out of 10 do not actually come from anyone you know....you get spammed a message or picture from somewhere, thats tricks you into thinking it's from someone you know.

follow the instructions for your particular operating system, as you must disable system restore, otherwise the virus will still remain.

so do I, it's a system resource hog, but the majority of users wont, or probably don't even know it exists..

All is suddenly right in the world. There must have been some divine intervention to make you post directly after my last one :)
