Howto remove the "Beavis"-virus

[Leen Wouters]

Hello all,

One of my friends has a virus on his computer, called "Win32/beavis.4350".
The anti-virus software detects it by finding 2 files ie Explorer.new and a
"*.tmp" file.
When we just delete this files, rebooting the computer just puts them back
and the virus still does its "thing".
When he starts explorer.exe (to launch the desktop) at startup, the screen
stays black.
Workaround then to start the Task Manager and launch explorer as a new task
but we would like to get rid of this virus all together.

Can 't find anything on the anti-virus sites, because the only "beavis"
virus they tell about is "beavis & Butthead" and doesn 't have a removal
instruction.
I also checked the registry to see wheter this explorer.new was ran instead
of explorer.exe to start the desktop, but I can 't fight any reference of it
in the registry.

Can anyone help me ??

Thanks in advance.
Leen Wouters.
