Trojan Hunter found the culprit for me but I had to find out how to eliminate it. That's where the Techguy forums came in handy. Go there and search on the names of those files that Trojan Hunter finds and see what people have found out about eliminating the infection. I needed to reboot in safe mode to keep the bugger from loading at startup. Then I could use windows explorer to delete the executable file from the hard drive and regedit (the Registry Editor) to eliminate the two statements in the Registry that were auto-loading the beast at bootup. I learned about doing it all from a thread on the Techguy Forums. > I also used HouseCall, which found no viruses. I also defragged, > cleaned tmp files, and tidied up disc space.

The anti-virus folks may be able to defeat it soon, but if it's yet another new variant it may take a few days for them to catch up and distribute new pattern files. > Something is definitely affecting my computer.

Amazingly, such advice seems to be available for the searching or asking at a handful of sites like the above. Be well, Mike D.
