Virus variant

[Guest]

Not on this computer but at work...
Running XP Pro on a new (less than 6 months old) Dell with Office Trends security. My Doom scans say not infected but office trends keeps picking up something called Troj-Winshow, but then offers no description of virus....and shows "clean failed.
System admin has been sending me notifications of e-mails I did not generate being sent ...to me!And they are showing up in my junk mail
What is this and how do I get rid of it?...I tried one of the free anti trojan programs but it has not affected this particular virus.

There seem to be three variants. You should try running Housecall -
http://housecall.antivirus.com to see what it identifies it with.

I don't know what Office Trends is, but I'd suggest another AV program if
this isn't catching stuff. No matter what you use, tho, keep it updated
*regularly* - as well as running a good firewall and running Windows Update
often for critical patches.
