I have tried the online scanner without any luck, it gives me the following error all the time when it tries to update:

"Attention, you must be online to activate Kaspersky Online Scanner, since the latest Anti-Virus bases version must be downloaded prior to scan. Otherwise we cannot guarantee detection of latest viruses. [21]"

Its amazing coz I am online and infact I am sending this reply from the same machine. Somewhere on the help file it said that i shudn't use a proxy server to access the Kaspersky updater machine, I tried that but still got the same error;not unless I'm missing smth.

I have also run the disinfector and it seems to have cleared the executable folders but the startup menu is still empty. How do i restore my programs to be included in the startup menu? Is the worm gone for good? what really causes this worm?
