ok i think the pc im using has a virus but im not sure...
firstly when i turn the pc on it goes to the desktop ok but takes AGES to load anything up and when it does it opens a menu called SYSTEM FOLDER which has the following in it
game
soundma
svchost
immh
00013
and a VXD and IID program?
any idea what this could be? it tries to connect to the internet sometimes but we use one of that walk free internet attach things (looks like an mp3 player, you pop it in the USB and you can connect to the net) so i dunno if that has anything to do with it.
we havent been looking at any odd sites or anything, i mainly just come here and ebay and she only really uses it for work.
Any ideas what this might be and whats best to use to get rid of it? |

Just get a lot of fluid in you and make sure to keep your temperature down. If possible, keep yourself indoors. Quote:

I once farted on the set of Blue Lagoon. | |
