Please read the instructions for removing worms.

At the Windows taskbar, select Start|Settings|Taskbar, then click the Start Menu Programs tab. Click Remove then click Startup. Delete the reference to Creative.exe.

In the C: folder locate the file Messageforu.txt. This gives the previous location of the files that the worm renamed and moved to the C: folder.

Move the files back to their previous locations, and rename them to their previous extensions by removing the text "change at least now to Linux" from the end of each file extension.
