Remove your disk-drive, and connect it as a "slave" disk-drive on some other computer, and then use the anti-virus software on that computer to do a "deep" virus-scan on that "slave" disk-drive.

Or, remove your disk-drive, purchase a new (faster, larger) disk-drive, and reinstall Windows onto that new disk-drive. Download McAfee, install it, and update it. Connect the "old" disk-drive as a "slave" disk-drive, and either copy all your files from it, and then disconnect the "old" disk-drive,
or run a "deep" virus-scan on that "slave" disk-drive.

Or, take the computer (minus all the connecting cables/keyboard/mouse) to any computer-store, and get them to attempt to "clean" the virus.

You require Norton AntiVirus from a disc as a clean boot will be required due to the virus "hiding" in the RAM.

Im unable to install..it says installation failed due to error...wht should i do?

Get rid of Norton

SPEAKING WITH MY EXPERIENCE: Either try Security Essentials from Microsoft OR Avast. There’s free software out there to try.

Helpful Free Software below Read On.

FREE SPYWARE
Download Spybot Search & Destroy. Restart computer, then run Spybot to see what spyware comes up, AND DELET IT.

FYI---Virus Protection-- 2 programs of virus protection will conflict with each other and will actually cancel out the protection. SO just download one.

Running Spybot Search & Destroy with EITHER Avast or Avg (great Free virus protection programs ) will keep a computer in good working condition. FREE

HERE ARE SOME LINKS, THAT WOULD BE BETTER:

Alleged conflict mcafee w webroot spy sweeper

Hi,
If spysweeper was installed then you should find it in "add remove programs" (XP) or "programs and features" (Vista) both can be found in the control panel.
When you open it look for webroot.
If it's not there type regedit in the search or run box, click on edit and select find, type webroot into the text box and search for any registry entry relating to spysweeper (webroot).
If your registry finds an entry click on find next and keep on doing this until the registry is cleared, then restart your PC and try and update Mcafee.
If you can't find any registry entry relating to webroot your PC maybe infected with spyware, malware or a virus. In that case i would perform a deep scan of the system whether your antivirus is updated or not.

Good luck and please post back if you need anymore help.

I agree. Re imaging or reinstalling the windows operating system seems like the only fix at this point since it seems like the anti virus isn't picking up the virus. Back up the files on an external hard drive and just reinstall windows.
