ACTS.LFM.926 - Removal

NOTE: Virus definitions that can detect and remove ACTS.LFM.926 will be included in LiveUpdate on January 9, 2002. The instructions that follow assume that you are performing this removal on or after the date that these definitions have been released via LiveUpdate. In some cases, virus writeups are published before the actual definitions are released to the public.

If you suspect that the computer is infected with ACTS.LFM.926, but it has not been detected by Norton AntiVirus, submit the suspect file or files to Symantec using Scan and Deliver. See the document How to submit a file to Symantec Security Response using Scan and Deliver. If Symantec Security Response determines that the file is infected by a threat for which definitions have not yet been released, you may receive by return email a file which contains "Beta" definitions for the threat. Detach and execute the file to install the updated definitions, and then continue with the instructions in this document.

1. Run LiveUpdate to make sure that you have the most recent virus definitions.
2. Start Norton AntiVirus (NAV), and make sure that NAV is configured to scan all files. For instructions on how to do this, read the document How to configure Norton AntiVirus to scan all files.
3. Run a full system scan.
4. Delete all files that are detected as ACTS.LFM.926. Deleted files will have to be replaced from a clean backup or reinstalled.
