    Need to get rid of W32.Netsky.S@mm.

    My antivirus software is giving me an alert message that W32.Netsky.S@mm is detected on my computer system. I am trying to delete this W32.Netsky.S@mm from my computer system but I am unable to do so. I have no idea what is the problem why I am not able to delete this W32.Netsky.S@mm from my computer. My personal computer system is also working slow, may be because of the W32.Netsky.S@mm. I want to know how to delete this W32.Netsky.S@mm from my computer system.

    Once this worm enters your computer system then it copies itself to the windows folder with the name EasyAV.exe. This W32.Netsky.S@mm worm normally changes the registry key value so that this worm can launch again at the time of reboot. Hence if you delete this worm from your computer system then it will come again until and unless you delete the registry key of this worm. If you have the good knowledge of registry key value you can manually delete this worm from your computer system.
