I'm very particular about my laptop, the kinda stuff I download, where I download from... Also, I do understand that emails and networks are the quickest way to viruses. So... I've installed the zone alarm firewall and AV on both my desktop and laptop and my wifi router has secured access only... yet somehow I've managed to out do my self and get this virus. ZoneAlarm detects it but cant clean it.... Anyone kno where i can get a removal tool? Tried the symantec one for Win32.Blackmal.E/B, wasnt found, and tried the CA, live web cleaner... not found there either.... although CA are the ones that do call it Win32.Blackmal.F!CME24

Thanks guys....

If both Symantec and CA say they can't find it, then I would tend to think you're seeing a false positive from ZA.

Are you scanning for the virus from within Safe Mode?

Also, you might want to try running Trend Micro's HouseCallonline scanner.

Use nod32, its the best there is.. hasn't missed a mainstream virus since it started and has won a whole bunch of virus scanner awards.

30 day trial - which should at least fix your problem.

yeah i did run ZA in safe mode.... maybe Symantec didn't find it cuz it refers to it differently.... so maybe the specifics of the virus its looking for are different. I did some research on this virus and apparently there are a whole no. of names the virus goes by. I'm not sure... maybe i'm blabbering but i cant help but have it play on my mind that this virus is distributing my personal data....
