The way to determine if you have a virus (and remove it if you do) is to
scan with a current version (not earlier than 2003) antivirus using
updated definitions. Do your scan in Safe Mode. Do you have a
full-featured antivirus installed? If not, get one immediately. A good
one is EZ-AV, http://www.my-etrust.com/microsoft.
