    Help needed to delete W32.Fizzer@mm virus.

    My computer system is infected with the virus name called W32.Fizzer@mm. I get know about this when I scanned my personal computer. My antivirus software gave me an alert message that W32.Fizzer@mm is detected on my computer system. I have deleted this W32.Fizzer@mm many times from my computer system, but it comes back again and again. I just want to get rid from this W32.Fizzer@mm from my computer system. Can anybody help me to remove this W32.Fizzer@mm from the hard disk of the computer system?

    W32.Fizzer@mm worm normally use the email, peer to peer network and IRC (Internet Relay Chat) for spreading from one computer to another computer system. W32.Fizzer@mm worm collects the email address from the windows address book and the Microsoft outlook of the infected computer. Once this worm enters your computer system then it copies itself to windows folder with the name initbak.dat or iservc.exe. This worm also drops a backdoor component ProgOp.exe. Update your antivirus software for removing this worm
