That is a nasty one. I also had a friend get a worm from dialup. Went right through the antivirus even though it was up to date. I had been working on the machine and had to temporarily disable zone alarm. Bad move as I'm sure that's how the worm got through.

It was hard to get rid of too because it had altered win32.dll to call out when the machine was online to reinstall the worms and virus's, funlove and space.

I followed the removal directions and the machine was always clean until it connected to the internet. Then, boom, worms again.

It also messed up reinstalling zone alarm in that I could not reinstall it.

I only solved the problem by installing a different firewall, sygate defender which intercepted the altered win32.dll trying to access the internet when the machine was online. The worm had even made the win32.dll file read only so a surface reinstall of the OS would not get rid of it.

Bottom line, these virus and worm writers are nasty people and you need antivirus AND a firewall even on dialup.
