I'm sorry: I wasn't clear. The problem is not the "vrape"
infection; I got rid of that. After dealing with that,
and after getting rid of the MSBLASTER worm, I have a new
problem: my browser appears on startup while the computer
is attempting to establish the default DSL connection ...
thus creating problems with the connection. I've done
nothing to make the browser load automatically when I
start the computer.
 
Andrew,
Sounds like you're still hijacked?
Go to: http://www.tomcoyote.org/hjt/
Download "Hijack This!" [freeware] or download direct (below):
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/hijackthis.zip

Unzip, double-click "HijackThis.exe" and Press "Scan".

When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log"
button.
Click: "Save Log" (generates: "hijackthis.log")

Next, go to the below location:
http://www.spywareinfo.com/forums/

Sign in, go to the "Spyware and Hijackware Removal" section.
Press "New Topic", copy and paste hijackthis.log into your new message.
