Okay so, I have a virus on my desktop. It is a worm that disallows me to do anything.I tried running spybot but the virus is so bad that it wont let me open it. I tried to go into safe mode to restore it (according to advice) but it will not let me. My computer is a Windows Vista 2000 I believe. I cant afford to fix it at a professional is there anything I can do? I need my computer for school.

Hello

Win32.NetSky is a computer virus found mainly in email attachments. The virus is activated when the user downloads and runs the attachment.

For once Symantec did something effective worthwhile and free.

Download and run this fix and kill the worm.

Be carefull with the e-mail!
