    You have a problem.. DONT BE A SHOT GUN.. Just create one thread for your problem....

    So do you want answers here on in the other thread?

    BTW: Do a search on the symantec - Security response site.. look for Agobot or Gaobot..
    and the message the AV scan gave you would have given you a version number ie gaobot.ag or sim.. You need that to correctly remove..

    yes good call.. I must check if there is a plug in for Bartpe.. or I make my own.... and if not useing the Remote scann approach.. Safemode when ever doing a virus scann is good advice..

    cheers
