Virus Help

Hey folks,
I believe I have the new Merry Christmas virus. My machine is receving about 50-100 returned mail messages a minute with the subject line "Merry Christmas!"

Co clearly my machine is trying to spread it.

I did some research and Symantec said its a relative of the Zafi virus and I downloaded its two recommented removal tools:

W32.Erkez fix and the W32.B.Erkez fix.
Neither found a trace of it and I am still sending them out when I go online.

Norton has the latest update and cant find anything.

Can anyone help a brotha?! ;P

Thanks Disco

I ran it and it found 11 instances of - WORM NACHI.DAM and could not do anything to fix them.

Apparently its in the Welcha family....maybe Symantec has a solution.

funny side note:
when searching for this virus...a link came up that said:

..."nachi.dam ate my hamster help me"
