Shortly after installing Windows XP family Update for Background Intelligent
Transfer Service (BITS) 2.0 and WinHTTP 5.1 (KB842773), I began to receive a
virus error message each time I start my computer indicating that a virus
called Backdoor.Graybird has been detected. I have tried everything I can
think of to locate and delete the file but no scans can find the file. I
have even scanned hidden files. Norton Anti-virus can't seem to repair or
delete the file. Microsoft instructions say go to Add/Remove programs to
uninstall the update. I went to this area and found nothing that said it was
the update. I need more detailed instructions. Can someone help?

well, let me see if i can help ya out.

if you cant find nothing on this update or " so called virus", then what you
will have to do is uninstall this update if you can. then if you can
uninstall it, then re-install update & see if it comes back again, if not,
then that update was just a fluke, or an unwanted virus that norton cant get
rid of or detect. also if it is a virus & norton wont detect or delete it,
then you need to see about getting a different anti-virus program, like :
E-TRUST ANTI-VIRUS>. this will clear, quarantiene & delete any virus you
have. it will also get rid of those nasty pop-ups everybody always complains
about.

hope this is helpful to ya.
