Several variants of a new virus called "korgo" have been causing a
lot of people problems because many virus scanners are not able to find this
virus. We have found one anti virus program that is able to find this virus
(if the latest anti virus definitions are installed). That program is
F-Prot Anti Virus. Click HERE
to go to their site. F-Prot is NOT a free program like AVG
Anti-Virus but F-Prot does have a 30 day fully functional trial that you
can use to remove this virus. Symantec also has Removal
Tools available on their website. Although we have seen several
cases where Norton Anti Virus (Symantec) did not find the virus, their tools
for removing the virus do work. The virus is most commonly being
distributed via file sharing programs. If you have been infected with a
variant of the Korgo virus, but you are not sure which variant you have, your
best bet to get rid of the bugger is to get the trial version of F-Prot.
Panda Anti Virus also provides a Free
Online Virus Scan that will look for this virus.
