Someone recently mentioned this virus to me just yesterday and referred to it as being able to "hijack your Internet Browser".....he said that every time he opens Internet Explorer, arbitrary pages load and he cannot control them from opening.....you might want to go to the Symantex site and see if they have any suggestions...
