I was also infected with this stupid virus. This is the solution:
1. Open "My Computer"
2. In the menu above, click Tools --> Folder Options --> File Types
3. Find VBS, click it and click delete. Find VBE, click it and click delete.
4. Now, click View tab. Tick "Show hidden files and folders"
5. Click apply and ok.
6. Now, go to your partitions (your drive c:\, d:\, e:\, etc.).
7. Open each drive. You should see COOL USEP SCANDAL.vbs in each drive. Click it and hit delete in your keyboard.
8. Don't forget to empty your recycle bin.
9. Open again your drives, you should see SOWAR.VBS and AUTORUN.INF. Delete these two and don't forget to empty recycle bin. If you can't see these two, restart you computer.
10. Now the next step is to download and install a program called HIJACKTHIS --> http://download.hijackthis.eu/HJTInstall.exe
11. Once installed, open it and click DO A SYSTEM SCAN ONLY.
12. In the end of each line, find and check these in their box:
a.) Long Live Sowar
b.) http://www.redtube.com (do not open, this is a porn site from that virus)
c.) DisableRegedit=1
d.) SysRes.vbs
e.) Control Panel Present
13. Check those boxes and click FIX CHECKED. Do a restart. That's all

Hi Good am,
I was infected by sowar.vbs virus from a usb drive source. I only knew it when my IE cant change the homepage anymore and I could not access task manager. I scanned my system xp using norton 2008 antivirus but it could not detect it. Why is that?
I had downloaded a free download anti virus before the sowar.vbs got deleted but my problem with IE and task manager still persists. This free anti virus scanned 49 threats and deleted them when norton did not even detected any 1.
Now on boot up my system gives a message of " cannot find VBS script " and theres a file called "Systemfile" with VBScript script file description in drive C which I delete on and on and seems to caome back on boot up. Upon accessing drive C in windows explorer a message of "cannot find sowar.vbs" appears.
Was I careless or just have to much confidence with Norton? Please help.
Thanks

That depends: did you install Norton AntiVirus 2008 after the infection was on your system? Many infections are blended threats that target anti-virus software, specific Symantec software. I would recommend that you follow the steps listed in the How To Troubleshoot a Suspected Malware Infection announcement.
