No... Thanks. :-)  I went out and invested in the newest copy of Norton
Antivirus.  It found 11 instances of W32.Magistr.39921  (not a link...
crappy Outlook Express) on my D:\ drive.  After repairing 8,  quarantining
3, and rebooting, the problem has gone away.

Interestingly, Norton Antivirus is rated as best in class, while I find
McAfee's website to be far more informative about specific viruses.  I was
able to search on W32 and received the following:

Thanks again,
