    How to delete W32.Sober.G@mm from my computer?

    From last week my antivirus is giving me an alert message that W32.Sober.G@mm is detected on my computer. I am trying to delete this W32.Sober.G@mm virus from my computer system, but it comes back every time I start my computer system. My operating system is windows 7 and I am using AVG scan free antivirus. Can anybody help me with this problem of W32.Sober.G@mm virus?

    I am not facing the same virus problem but I am a regular user of this antivirus, and I am fully satisfied with this antivirus. The feature which I like about this antivirus is that you do not have to update this antivirus software but it updates automatically.

    Re: Update your antivirus software

    If your current antivirus is detecting the worm W32.Sober.G@mm on your computer, then it must be able to delete this worm from your computer. I think the problem is with your antivirus software. You must upgrade your antivirus software and then try to delete this virus from your computer. I am sure this will solve your problem.

    Sober.G is a mass mailing worm uses e-mail addresses collected from the system to distribute infected mails. The worm uses its own SMTP engine to spread. The worm is written in visual basic and compressed with UPX. When the infected e-mail attachment is executed, it displays the message box "Special -UnZip Data- Module is missing
    Open with Notepad?" and copies itself to Windows system folder with random exe file name. It also drops bcegfds.lll, zhcarxxi.vvx, and cvqaikxt.apk. Then it modifies the registry to load automatically on next startup. The registry key modification is given below.
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
