Okay so I downloaded a virus, which was mostly because of my own stupidity. It made a bunch of pop-up ads appear, as well as making the message "b.exe has stopped working" show up as if it were any other application not responding, followed by a message that I have a virus on my computer. After scanning my computer with Norton and Malwarebytes (the free version) a coupla times, the ads have stopped, but b.exe keeps on stopping working. (I'm running Vista, by the way.)

Help me out here. If Windows is to be believed, the virus is called "W32/Gaobot.worm.gen.u - Win32/RBot.3eu!Worm". How can I get rid of it?

Somewhat surprised Norton doesn't quarantine the fucker.

Have you tried going into safe mode and running the scanners (Norton/Malwarebytes after updating them..?

Got rid of Registry Cleaner Pro (god damn rogue program/trojan) on a friend's Vista laptop last night that way...
