    According to Spy Bot Search and Destroy i have a Annew-Fam worm in my start up.

    The only Software company that can take it away is SOPHOS the only company that info about it is SOPHOS i find that very strange.

    None of my Avast and NOD32 Can find ANY virus on my computer the run it 3 times in both normal and safe mode.

    I just ran a quick search on Annew-Fam Worm and found plenty of information on it, it's not just on the Sophos site. Reading up on the virus, it does seem pretty serious:

    I'd be particularly worried about the first point.

    Its like a Trojan ... and open ports on your system .. remote attacker can connect to the open port in your system and can cause serious damages on your system and can steal critical data like credit card info and other stuff from your system !!
