Ok, I'm helping her secure her computer adding kerio and antiviruses etc. Anyway, her Norton anti-virus discovered the wre.spybot.worm but guess what? Norton can't get rid of it. She also can't install AVG.
So, being that I never had a worm, how can it be...gone?!
Google doesn't show anything..hope she didn't give me the wrong name.
Thanks a bunch.

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

You could use HijackThis! to kill the running program (may or may not work), then re-run NAV and try to get rid of it.
Another thing... is she running Windows XP as the default user (read: administrator)? Because if she is, then so is the spyware, and you won't be able to kill it running as, say, a Power User.

Thanks guys.I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."
