I had this virus, spend my afternoon getting rid of it!

Go to Symantec.com and get the fixer for it if you have it on your home PC - the links on their homepage.

if u cant get onto internet with XP. activate XP firewall, then once on internet, go to www.microsoft.com, click downloads, select option 4 and click on download on righthand side and open from location, job done

granted but first not many students will be around in august i would of thought? and teachers/whoever arent going to cause havoc on a network they need to use.

If they are doing their job right you shouldnt be able to plug in a usb hd/storage device, email should be scanned on the server ended with an up to date virus definion file. Plus normal email tatics like banning fanny file extentions such as exe.

OH and the patch was released ages ago, and using filtering on internal routers/switches wouldnt be a bad idea either.
