WScript.Kakworm.dr virus

[Rebels7]

Somehow I seem to be infected with this virus. Norton did not detect this virus on my machine, I had to go to their site and run a check via the web to find it. Now the question is, how do I get rid of it???? The recommened methods listed at their site will not work because everytime I try to run any program with an .exe extenstion (namely regedit.exe), I receive the dialogue "cannot find yhhdigthd.exe file". The only way I can run any program is to change the .exe to .com extension. Can anyone help me or I destined to do a format c:??????

Is this the method that you used ?
Start -> RUN, type "notepad c:\autoexec.bat" and click OK.
Remove the following lines:
@echo off>c:\windows\STARTM~1\Programs\Startup\kak.hta
del c:\windows\STARTM~1\Programs\Startup\kak.hta
Delete the following files:
c:\windows\kak.htm
c:\windows\system\(#).hta
c:\windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp\kak.hta
Click START - RUN, type REGEDIT and click OK
Click EDIT - FIND, type cAg0u and hit FIND NEXT
Once cAg0u is found, hit DELETE on the keyboard to delete that key
Once you get rid of the worm, you may want to look at the MS patch that is available for this.
Have a look at this site, it has a link to the patch also.
