i have all of them besides black ice...so im good but like its just not going away...like its weird cause the black worm is from an email or so they say....but i dont check my mail on my computer at home....and it doesnt have the same side effect as it says it does...its supposed to destroy files, but it doesnt seem to be doing that...but actully i think it was my moms fault i got put away for a month for robbing some [expletive deleted] and she downloaded aol....but who knows....AOL SUCKS

There can be several virus's with a similar name. I saw search results with Black.F Black.A Black.C and so on. Blaster has several recreations, it could be the same with your worm. Check around Symantec until you see a virus with remotely the same name and similar effects.
Also, use Avast's boot time scan and delete all infected files.

If you can't remove the worm doing a memory scan on startup. Then, just format the computer.
Too bad if you have files you want to keep, just format and never look back. That's my final solution.

There are lots of ways to format a computer. But if you are uneducated in the process, the best option is go to a computer store near by and ask them if they can do it for you.

This is based of Windows XP.

Put the CD rom in the drive and restart the computer.
Make sure BIOS is configured to start up using the CD.
When asked, press any key to have the computer boot from start up.
Opt to install windows.
When it asks what partition to install it on. Delete all partitions then make a new one.
Select the New one and use Format NTSC(Quick)
Once it's done that, windows will do it's hibbidy jibbidy and just follow the prompts.

Note this is a very sketchy and fast way of doing it, and it would require some knowedge in the field in not screwing it up. The wisest thing would still be to have a tech do it for you.
Or check up on other websites with descriptions on it.

It sounds like it might be vundo, but lets see if it is infact black worm.

this will detect and remove blackworm.

If it popups about blackworm then use this too VundoFix.exe:

Remember to do it in safe mode, so it doesn't get a deadmans grip or reinstall itself. When I got rid of vundo, I had to run the program like three times before it went away.
