Sophos found it and repaired the worm.
Can someone supply a link "how to reformat Windows XP" when the OS was pre-installed?
System restore would not work on any date, probably due to the nature of the worm. Its purpose is to attack anti-virus programmes.
For the moment it seems that her PC is safe. It took a few attempts in DOS with Sophos to attain the results.
Thanks for the help, all that replied.
ps. It was not in the start-up folder @ msconfig and I could not find it in the registry. Possibly because I did not know where to look.
