NOTE: If the virus has executed, you may first have to reinstall Windows.
  1. Run LiveUpdate to make sure that you have the most recent virus definitions.
  2. Start Norton AntiVirus (NAV), and run a full system scan, making sure that NAV is set to scan all files.
  3. Delete any files detected as BAT.Black, with the exception of the Win.ini or Autoexec.bat files if they are detected.
  4. If you are familiar with what should be in the Win.ini or Autoexec.bat files, open those files in a text editor and remove the text that the virus added; otherwise, replace them from a clean backup.
  5. Using Windows Explorer, delete the C:\_bd-ptrr.bat file, if it exists.
  6. Replace any files that were deleted by the virus.
