| Somehow managed to get a trojan virus on my computer that tries to re-install
| at reboot. McAfee picks it up and deletes it but have not been able to
| remove the tag. Upon startup I get "svchost.exe application error." McAfee
| then pops up and says "spytofger.dll" trojan found and deleted. I searched
| the web and found this solution at
|
www.sophos.com/virusinfo/analyses/trojtofgeraw.html but am not sure about
| altering registry. Anyone hlep with this.

| Thanks
