Magistr.dam Virus
My Dad's pc was recently affected by the Magistr.dam virus etc. None of the virus software he has is able top detect it. Does anyone know of any good fixes, exe's or anything to help hime get rid of it?
He has very very little PC know how and is very concerned about doing this manually.
Any clues anyone?

Dad had already seen the manual instructions, and is scared off by it. Does anyone know of any exe's or anything to do this automatically?

Sometimes Sarc.com will let you download a small program that does it for you. But this is not always the case, yet worth a try. Sometimes, if you get yourself into trouble, you've got to take the necessary steps to get yourself out. If it requires registry tweaking and he doesn't feel comfortable, then by all means, either you or someone you know who is techy, should do it.
