worm just did a good number on my PC.

well... time to refresh, a worm tore apart XP in my computer... stuck on the laptop for now...

it actually deleted some crucial registry keys and the lot. I'm wondering if its possible for a worm to delete files and make XP reliant on the worm to survive, WHILE its sending 2.8mb packets per second to 4 different IP's.

as my friend told me, "you couldn't just get any old virus, you have to get the one that makes a big production outta things. the kind the walks in style."

info is useful... cause i have no idea how im going to approach this after XP is re-installed
