I got some virus in my Computer called Annew-Fam Worm. I got the information from my Spybot program otherwise I never would have seen it.

The only problem I see is that only one program has information of it? Normally it is a well known virus that everybody knows about. Some might even suggest that they made it to make money.

But anyway I wanted to get rid of the virus so I run all my Virus program like Nod32, Windows Defender and similar programs but none of them could find anything.

Finally I downloaded Sophos Anti-Rootkit, Threat Detection Test , Application Discovery Tool you don’t have to give them your real email it will take you to the download page anyway.

They all found something but could not delete it so I had to register and get a password to download the real software.

I downloaded Sophos Anti-Virus SBE 2.5 free trial and you need to give them a valid email and you need to take away Simple File Sharing in XP, this Windows Help page will show you how to do that if you don’t know.

I am now running the file and I will let you know if the program worked in next post it says I have to restart.

Annew-Fam Worm does this to your computer
* Allows others to access the computer
* Downloads code from the internet
* Reduces system security
* Installs itself in the Registry

I really had great use of my Sophos antivirus program I downloaded for free 30 days. It found loads of malware and spyware that no other program I tested found before. Even Microsoft Defender say hard drive was free from things like that but I guess it was not.

It takes while to go trough all the hard drives so I take them one per night and check and delete anything they find in the morning.

I will not by the program since I think it swallow to much memory but its good to try the 30 days free trial to clean out some stuff from the hard drives.

I do not know how many Happy New Year and Merry Christmas email I get everyday with virus inside. It is very important to have antivirus programs installed in the computer at all times because you never know when a virus may hit you.

I had a webmaster applying for a work one time and he had a website he showed me but when I came to the website my Norton AntiVirus warned me that this website had a virus. So this called webmaster had a virus in his computer and every time someone came to his site they got a virus from him. You can guess if he got the job or not? So if you not have installed a antivirus program installed now then do a Norton AntiVirus download“>Norton AntiVirus download free right now, it can save you lots of extra work.
