I keep getting something called RealMoney on my system ( I m running xp
home).It seems to delete the last thing in my desktop folder every time I try
to delete RealMoney. When I go to where it is ,it says Autostart folder but I
see no auto start folderanywhere.What exactly is RealMoney and how do I get
rid of it.

Who said it was a virus ?
What software do you have that declared "RealMoney" as a virus ?

It sounds more like adware/spyware.

Download, update and use; Ad-aware SE v1.06 and SpyBot Search and Destroy v1,4.
