Alcra worm?

Anyone know of a program to get rid of it? I have norton utilities...will that help? Dude I hate this crap. Could this be a reason my computer is running so crappy right now?

THIS is why I went into the Army, because computers=stupid.

lol, try AVG 7.1 free edition. Stronger AV, free updates for 7 years, uses less resources. Norton is a 'virus' itself.

LINK TO INSTALLER:
http://free.grisoft.com/softw/70free...ee_394a752.exe

I have used this for 2 years. Would trust it over Norton (I have used it on my laptop etc with terrible results a few times).

IMPORTANT: If you wish to install this AV, ensure you uninstall Norton fully first.

Avast has served me well enough. Simple and free can't be beat.
