Answer
Hi Jabr,

Couldn't find anything about it, except what I found at google:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=backdoor.Delf.Aka&btnG=Google+Search

If you suspect a virus on the computer, using Internet Explorer go to:

http://security.symantec.com/sscv6/default.asp?langid=ie&venid=sym

Click the GO button, then under Virus Detection, click Start. You might be told that you need to download and install ActiveX Controls for the scan to work, answer Yes.

Write down exactly anything it finds, then go to: http://www.symantec.com/search/  and do a search for what was found. Symantec usually has a removal tool and/or directions for removing manually. Make sure that you follow the instructions for removal, step by step, especially the part regarding disabling System Restore.

Also, go to Windows Update and download the available updates.

Hope this helps!
