W32/Navidad Fix Tool
How to use it
1. Download the fixnavid.com
file and save it to your Windows Desktop (or some other folder). Notice
that the program has a ".com" extension, and not an ".exe"
extension. This is by design -- please do not change the file extension
of the tool, as it will cause it not to function correctly.
2. Double-click on the fixnavid.com file.
3. When the program has finished running, reboot the system.
4. Run a full system scan for viruses on the hard drive(s) of the machine.
Follow the instructions for Norton
AntiVirus and VirusScan
on how to configure your anti-virus application to run a system scan. Also,
ensure that your application has the latest anti-virus definitions installed
before running the scan (VirusScan -- definition file version 4105, dated
11/10/00; NAV -- definition file dated 11/09/00).
What it does
The tool will remove all registry entries created or modified by the W32/Navidad
virus, and delete the virus file itself. This will restore the machine to
the state it was in before infection by Navidad. After running the tool,
it is strongly recommended that the machine be rebooted and a full virus
scan be done on its hard drive(s).
