  Hello Ira,
   
      Just a reminder that online scans are 
  only capable of attempting to remove a virus or worm that you already 
  have, and that often by this time it is too late. Some are only 
  nuisances, but others can even corrupt a system bios or destroy the entire 
  contents of a hard drive. Of course it is also true that by the time you catch 
  it with an online based scan, many viruses and worms have already sent 
  themselves to everyone on your mailing list, including all the members of this 
  group, perpetuating the cycle indefinitely. For 
  both of these reasons running online based scans should only be considered as 
  a backup to an installed and regularly updated program such as Norton AV, 
  Panda, McAfee, etc.. If you didn't get good results with McAfee, I'd suggest 
  trying one of the other solutions. Online scans alone do not by any means 
  provide comprehensive coverage. They are like going to a doctor to get fixed 
  up after you get hit by a truck instead of avoiding getting hit by the truck 
  in the first place.
   
      If I'm saying things that you already 
  know then you have my apologies in advance, but someone may benefit from the 
  same remarks and save us all a lot of grief. In today's world a person who 
  knowingly does not do all they can to protect themselves and others 
  from viruses and worms is often seen in a similar light to those who write 
  them.
   
      Strange world we live in. If all the 
  people spending their lives writing viruses worked on a cure for cancer it'd 
  probably be solved by now.

    Thank you.  I used Housecall and it worked 
    fine.  I will try Norton on line later as a check.  I want to 
    thank you all for your help in this matter.  I have no idea why someone 
    derives pleasure from sending a virus.  Rather then cause someone 
    discomfort and trouble I would rather just take their money trading.  I 
    can go out and enjoy that.  Thanks again.  Ira

      Ira:
       
      Some anti-virus and anti-trojan applications 
      show false hits.  Some use file size or file name as the indication 
      of infection, and others recognize snippets of virus code.  I know 
      nothing about the scanner you used, but the 
      "infected" files you found could be quite harmless.
       
      If you use McAfee, scan your system again 
      using Norton Anti-Virus (they offer a free web-based scan), or one of 
      several reputable firms recommended here previously.
       
      Regards.

        For one as careful as myself to find out 
        the following was another eye opener in the world of the invasive 
        computer virus. .  I advise you all to check your computers with 
        this program.  <A 
        href="">www.housecall.trendmicro.com/housecall/ 
        . I found that I not only had the Klez worm virus but also the 
        Hybris worm.  I had over 50 files contaminated and had no 
        clue.  I only frequent two groups and this is one of them.  So 
        if you have downloaded any of my e mail, run a check.  It is free. 
         It took a couple of hours for this to go through all the programs 
        on 2 computers,but I am virus free as of now.  Have a good week 
        end.To
