re: Golid.A

I got this response from BitDefender tech support:

"The disinfection process for this kind of virus (trojan viruses) reside in
deletion. So, all you have to do is to delete the infected files. If the files
are loaded in to memory you have several options:
1. Kill the virus process (the same name as the .exe infected file) and delete it using BitDefender or manually;
OR
2. Reboot in Safe Mode and manually delete the infected files;
OR
3. Reboot in DOS mode (Windows 98 only) and delete the infected files."
