Please help removing "W32/VirTool.AQ"

[Levesque@discussions.microsoft.com Rob Levesque]

Hello,

My antivirus software is continuously detecting infected files by this virus
and deleting them but I can't find the virus' origin to delet it. Any
suggestions? I'm running Freedom AntiVirus (comes with Bell Sympatico) and
Spyware Doctor. It's getting pretty irritating

You may want to try alternative anti-virus and/or anti-spyware/adware
solutions. You may also want to ask in other subject-related forums outside
the Microsoft realm.

I've had excellent luck with the free version of AVG Anti-Virus for virus
protection:

For spyware/adware you might consider: SpyBot S&D, AdAware and the new
Microsoft beta product I use all three and am not bothered by this type of
junk::

latest undates, I am also running Ad-Aware SE and Spybot

Hi Rob,

Ooops, I pressed tab + Enter and sent last by
mistake. Anyway, I took Peters advise and got AVG
Antivirus. I think I got it, I believe it uses an alias
name, but AVG got it, I hope. If I notice it again I will
post again.

Good Luck.

P.S. stay away from those alt. porn sites, I've learnt
my lesson.
