This worm is driving me nuts.
I downloaded the removal tool from Symantec and ran it 5 times, and it didn't work. After that, I tried running a system scan with my antivirus software. After some failed tests due to the computer rebooting, I finally got the scan to run to completion and got the worm deleted.
There's one problem, though. The damn rebooting didn't go away.
After a few more rebootings, I ran the Symantec removal tool again and the antivirus detected the worm again. I've gone into the registry as Symantec suggests, and there are no references to the worm.
Regarding the patch, I recently got my PC formated and Windows XP installed on it, and haven't downloaded service pack 1 yet. Since the patch requires service pack 1, and the damn thing is 125 MB big, there's no way I will be able to download it before the computer reboots.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I could really use some help right now.

The gods made heavy metal and they saw that is was good
They said to play it louder than Hell
We promised that we would
When losers say it's over with you know that it's a lie
The gods made heavy metal and it's never gonna die
