Recently I was surfing the web and a virus alert for the w32.spybot.worm popped up. I did everything that the Norton Virus said and still the file won't delete or be quarrantined. I even manually tried to delete the file but it won't delete. I don't know how I got this file because I'm very careful about what I do on my computer. I can already see that the worm has done some damage because it changed my homepage to www.findthewebsiteyouneed.com and when i went to change it back it won't let me. Please help me solve this problem I've stressed all my options.

You will have to download the anti virus from another computer and upload it into your system, to get rid of the Virus.
