Anyone know if the Lovesan virus is dangerous? What I've read about it suggests that it was just manufactured by geeks as a warning/protest thing...

Thing is, AVG Anti-Virus - which seems to do very well keeping me clear of other things - seems to detect it but won't remove it.

it mostly spreads and launches attacks on windowsupdate.com during certain parts of the year - it won't fuxor your box, but it will be a nuisance.

Write down the infected files, boot to safe mode and track 'em down with search to delete them

even better instructions:

* If you don''t have the above mentioned patch installed yet, please install it from:
* http://www.microsoft.com/technet/tre...n/MS03-026.asp
* Click the Control Center icon located on the system taskbar
* Restart computer to the Safe mode
* Click "Update now" button (to make sure the latest version of NOD32 database is installed)
* Go to Start > Programs > Eset > NOD32
* In the "Targets" Tab select the all available hard-disks by double clicking appropriate icon
* Click the “Clean” button
* When the Win32/Lovsan.A worm is found and an action is offered, click “Clean”
* Restart the system

some virii require more help than a simple virus checker.

Download the McAfee Stinger ( http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/ ) which should happily clear your virus.
