How to get rid of the popular viruses
If you’ve been infected with any of the most recent Windows viruses, you can download a free mini-scanner/cleaner from Network Associates. This application, called Stinger, isn’t a substitute for a virus scanner. It’s the functional equivalent of having to go to the emergency room rather then having regular checkups.
Here’s a list of virii that Stinger currently detects and cleans:
BackDoor-AQJ
Bat/Mumu.worm
Exploit-DcomRpc
IPCScan
IRC/Flood.ap
IRC/Flood.bi
IRC/Flood.cd
NTServiceLoader
PWS-Sincom

Try this first: http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/
If that doesn’t work, there is an online scanner @ McAfee that should do the trick. Then go to http://www.grisoft.com and download AVG for free. It’s one of the best free (or paid) scanners out there.
