Darn those modern trojans.
I'll see what else has been damaged.
Thanks for the help.

Virus (Win) - Symantec's Free Online Virus Scanner
The Symantec Corporation has made a free online virus scanning utility available. We recommend end-users that are not currently running an antivirus program and/or have an out-dated antivirus program installed on their system take advantage of this utility to verify the integrity of their system.
While this utility can scan and diagnose whether your computer system is already infected with a virus it will not protect your system from future virus infection. For adequate virus protection an antivirus program with up to date virus definitions must be installed and running on your computer system at all times to ensure no viruses are activated on the system in the future.
Note: This product is
NOT supported by the DoIT Help Desk. You must be running Internet Explorer version 5.0 or higher on a windows-based computer and be online to run this scan.
To run the online scanner you will need to do the following:
- Open Internet Explorer (Note: Netscape and other browsers will not work with this scanner).
- Point your browser to http://security.symantec.com/default...d=ie&venid=sym.
- This will cause your browser to open another window. Under Virus Detection click on the START button. If another window does not open, click the Go button on the page that does display.
-
- After starting the scan three Security Warning windows will pop up. You will need to click on Yes to each of these in order to run the scan.
- After the scan has completed Symantec will provide a detailed summary of what, if anything, was found on the system.
Note: If you are unable to run the scan you may need to set Internet Explorer back to it's default settings. See our document
Internet Explorer (Win)-Restoring the Default Settings for detailed instructions on how to do this.
goodluck :w:
