Remove W32.Sobig.F virus

Hello all,

I running Exchange 5.5 in my office and it seems like 4 of
our pcs got infected with w32.sobig.f@mm. I scanned &
quarantine & delete those that I found in the 4 pcs. I re-
scanned each individual pc and didn't find any infected
file. But between these 4 computers still getting a bunch
of email with this virus, all the email subjects are the
same.

does anyone know if there is a removal tool for this
virus? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Nick

Are you running an Exchange 5.5 AV aware program? Unless you have an
Exchange AV program with up-to-date def's, you will continue to receive
these within your email.

NAV CE isn't going to scan Exchange - you need the Exchange add-in, I
believe. However, I personally recommend using Trend ScanMail or Sybari
Antigen.
