After downloading Symantec updates my computer
mysteriously showed a virus as indicated above. After
following removal procedures I receive a message at start
up that windows connot find C:\windows\system32\FF.exe
and tells me to retype name path, Any info on what
this file does and or if it is just the remnants of the
virus is appreciated,
