Thanks for the website it detected Backdoor.SdBot.gen

Now I have to get rid of it but am not excited at the thought of editing the
registry. Does anyone know of any free software that may get rid of this?

Thanks,
Alexandra

What file? Klex didn't mention any specific file name.

Klex, if you would mention what version of what Operating System you
have, someone could help you with the password on screensaver. If it is
Windows 2000 (try it anyway), right-click on desktop, choose Properties,
Screensaver tab, and Uncheck the [ ] Password protected box.

You can also change the "time to sleep" there. "A few minutes" seems a
bit short; set it to at least 15 minutes.

Regarding Norton anti-virus, dump that hog and get something (free) that
doesn't use all your computer's resources. See:
http://k75s.home.att.net/tips.html#av

Read this too and get the Norton complete removal tool, else you never
will be able to do that.

Choose; Unzip
Choose; Close

Execute; C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT
{ or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS }

NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow WGET.EXE to go through your

C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT -- { or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS}

You can choose to go to each menu item and just download the needed files or you can
