I do think the site should provide some instructions as to what the remedies are.

I must have missed out on the history of this episode. What is the Attack Page incident? What is this worm/virus that we're talking about?

I have been working on my computer for 4 days now with the help of an IT manager trying to stabilize my system and I think this damn blue booze bug is as dangerous to computers as the Ebola virus is to humans!
After many unsuccessful fixes, we had to go to the extreme of finally uninstalling not just Outlook, but the entire Office Suite from my computer and then did a reinstall.
That finally got my Outlook running in stable mode again, but I had lost my entire address book.
Apparently, this malicious virus burrows deep into the pst file of Outlook and buries itself in there in camouflage form because none of my scans could detect it.
When I mentioned the problem to another friend who is another IT expert, he suggested that if my new Outlook was now running stable that I could simply import my contacts from the old pst file since whatever bug was hidden in there, he assumed would be somewhere in the emails and not in the contacts.
Well, that sounded logical to me and I thought I could at least salvage my contacts, but guess what?
When you try that little trick the program locks up again and reinfects Outlook again!
Groan!
After all that work, I am still back to square one!
When we find the bastard that inflicted the Eccie site with this malicious worm I think we need to hang him up by the balls!

Whatever this threat was, it seems confined to eccie.net. There is nothing about it on the Norton threat board or on the internet.
