Another Virus :(

I have yet ANOTHER virus on my computer, why is this happening to me all the time?!? Aparently its called Trojan.Simcss

Now i know nothing on how to get rid of viruses so i need help on every single step sad

I dont know why i always get them, i might not know a lot about computers but i do know for a fact i am firewalled. Ive got norton antivirus and run regular system checks and live updates and still i get spyware and viruses erm

Disable System Restore (Windows Me/XP).

Update the virus definitions.

Restart the computer in Safe mode or VGA mode

Run a full system scan and delete all the files detected as Trojan.Simcss

Delete the values that was added to the registry.

to disable your system restore:
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPOR...src=sec_doc_nam

update: just update your virusscanner, it's usually the button that says "update"

restart in save mode: http://www.pchell.com/support/safemode.shtml

scan: you know that

delete: just hit the delete button when he finds it

another point is if you are using IE switch browsers to Monzilla Firefox. That helped me immensely

ive done everything i could, some of the regisrty keys werent there so i couldnt delete them so im not sure of the virus is gone or not.

I use norton antivirus and the scans take hours, at least 5 hours at a time and the things it finds i cant do anything with, most of the time they wont delete and all of the time none of them fix or go into quarantine..... confused
