such as a DSL or cable modem, disconnect the computer from the network

shared files to Read Only, before reconnecting the computers to the

folders on networked computers, to ensure that the worm does not
reinfect the computer after it has been removed, Symantec suggests
sharing with Read Only access or by using password protection.
If you are removing an infection from a network, first make sure that all the shares are disabled or set to Read Only.
