Hello there!

I just read a thread about how to fix the Troj_Istbar.k virus. Although what I had was the Yaha virus, all the steps were the same...talking about the C:\_Restore\Temp folder and it's contents. I have Windows ME on this particular computer and I downloaded the free trial for norton. After following the steps to disable system restore and reboot, the files were gone and all was well. I re-ran norton and the second time around there were only 7 infected files (as opposed to the 202 the first time). I figured this was fine so for grins, I rebooted the computer one more time before actually installing norton. After install it asked for a reboot and before the desktop came up, a window in colored dos format (hope this makes sense) came up telling me that the yaha worm had been removed. When the desktop came up, a norton window popped up stating the same thing, that the yaha worm had been removed. The problem now is that NONE of the executable files that I have on my comptuer are accesible. I'm unable to right click on my computer and click on properties cuz it says I have no permission to do so. I can't open users to find out what possible user I may be logging in under as it's set up for just me. I tried to do a screenshot of some of the windows that are popping up but like I said, no exe files are able to open

Any ideas as to what may have gone awry?

Please help! If you need more info, please let me know! Thank you!
