| Thank you so much Dave---not sure what I would do without people such as
| yourself--or programs such as Trend.
|
| All went well except that the url for the disable sysrestore doc did not
| help. Anyway managed to sort the disable thingy out using resrui.exe in
| the system32 file.
| The first scan found 17 viruses.
|
| After the second Trend scan which found SDBOT-UM (clean-failed
| and Move--failed) , I ran AVG which picked up 6 infected files and
| healed 5 leaving one virus still on drive in
| C:\Windows\system32\Internet.exe.
|
| I am not sure what this file does so am leaving alone until I find out
| !!!!!
|
| Thanks again,Richard
