List,

I just started my machine after leaving it off while away from home. I
noticed that when I booted the machine, right over the third? column
where the devices are listed with there associated interrupts was a
rectangular section colored green with four greek letters shaped like
"Es" (I can't remember the name of the letter its been too long) spaced
like this: E EEE.  The machine hung after that and I was forced to reset
the unit. When it rebooted, I got a bios checksum error so I restarted
again and reset the bios to optomized settings and the machine restarted
(didn't see the colorized box again though).  It did kill my menu with
my logout buttons and a couple of buttons some other panels.  

I noticed that it took a long time for the file systems to be mounted
and when it did final come up (> 1min) I logged in and opened gqview. 
The box locked up I tried the <Alt><SysReq> R,S,E,I,U,B key sequence but
to no avail.  I reset it.  I'm back up and creating this document.

My first question is obvious: How to get rid of the virus?

How to check why the alt sysrqst key sequence isn't working?



Thanks with Urgency,

Terry

P.S.  I hesitate to go in as superuser, I don't know if the virus is
scanning for passwords or not.
