NYB virus
My friend found a little leech on his system and wants to know how to get rid of it.

Trendmicro.com tells him it's a NYB virus with no sollution...
Umm anyone know how to fix this?
He's running WIN98se.

That's the most vague I can be. . . Sorry.

Here's McAfee's removal instructions; http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_880.htm



Man, that's an old one. First found in 1995! It's a sneeky MBR virus.

EDIT: Looks like you can only get in from an infected floppy.
