Trojan Galoper Upon Opening IE

[Guest]

On several occasions over the past several weeks I have opened IE6 (my home
page is google.com) and received a message that Norton AV has intercepted and
removed trojan galoper virus. I run Norton AV at least 3 times a week and
each time there are no viruses found on my computer, however, I am concerned
that my browser might have been compromised. Anyone have any thoughts on
what I should do? Reinstall IE6? Other?

Thanks

Windows version?

Reinstalling IE won't help.

When all else fails, HijackThis v1.99.1

It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware. **Post
