Quote - I didn't find it hard to get rid of.

How hard W32.Polip is to get rid of depends greatly on how many and which files are infected, as well as how many computers one has on a network. When major system files are infected, it's harder. Polip also attempts to crash most antivirus software, which caused a couple of my machines to reboot midway through the cleaning process and thus reinfect most of the recently cleaned files. Nothing to do when that happened but start all over again. My congratulations to you on getting rid of Polip so easily, but it's pretty evident from posts in this and the other threads that it hasn't been so effortless a fix for everyone.
