    Default Brontok.Q.1

    Hi.

    Can someone please give me an advice how to get rid of a worm? The worm in question is Brontok.Q.1. . It multiplies all over my system and scanning and deleting it with antivirus doesn’t work because it appears again. I’m using Avira Free edition and yesterday I downloaded SPYDIG, but also with no success in deleting the worm. I’m using Windows XP operating system. Step by step instructions would be much appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    Edit:

    Reinstalling the Windows is not much of an option because I don’t want to lose some of the files I have.

    I was so wrong. Yesterday it appeared again. I tried to delete it again, I even turned off System Restore (that way it could reappear), deleted all my browsers history, cookies... , deleted all my temporary files but still no success. Can somebody give me more advices please?
