How can I confirm and remove Win32.Virut.A ?

External Since: Nov 02, 2007 Posts: 1

Hi Folks,

I downloaded the FREE version of PCTools AV and did a scan on several
large internal and external hard drives. It found, and quarantined)
over 1,300 EXE files saying that they were infected with
"Win32.Virut.A".

Is there a way for me to manualy verify that this infection exists.
Also, is there a tool to "disenfect these files instead of simply
deleting them?

Thank you for helping,

Don
