Today I was playing around with my computer and I installed Norton Antivirus 2002 and did a full scan. After about twenty minutes of scanning I checked the final report and found out that more than 2100 of my files were infested with something called VBS.LOVELETTER, so I tried having the Antivirus repair the files but it couldn't. So I isolated them using the Antivirus and did a little research on the internet and found out that this so pretty serious ****. I have a lot of programs on my computer that I don't want to lose but I want to get rid of this damn virus. Someone help me!

Formating would be my last resort.
