@vr: you have just described 95% of the human race, so it's not all that surprising. and there are still a lot of people out there who don't fully understand computers.
@semi: update your AV software and do a full system scan. if that doesn't work you may need to wipe your HD.
there may also be other alternatives of which i am unaware, so ask your computer nut friends or the IT gurus at your place of work/study.

In case you do not have a virus scanner (nothing surprises me anymore

) you can get a good, free scanner here:

Make sure you run it regularly and update it at least every two weeks!

I got infected by a virus - trojan! Tried deleting it from my PC but went vain. Is this a deadly/ (PC) threatening one? What if I just leave it there ... I update my files with Norton on a 'daily' basis. What I noticed here is that, I never got any of these viruses ever since I surfed the net (2000) - quite late huh?, and how come I just recently got it, when my registration with Norton is due by next week, was it planned? to have my registration renewed asap? Thanks!
