Sir Cam virus got us tonight. First ! do not shut down....
a free on-web detector and cleaner of that virus [ and others] can be
had at
http://housecall.antivirus.com/housecall/start_pcc.asp

just go for the Free Scan and more details, if curious.
check the little block that names the hard drive for your PC, check the
box
for Auto Clean, click on the big grey box that says SCAN, sit back and
watch
as it runs the Virus checker over the web.

If it asks you to log on or other info, the "FREE" answers are best !
Answer that you are NOT a business or For Profit company,
but a single lowly home PC user. That should keep it free.
if the above link does not get you "there"; then try the shorten
version.

If you get a msg asking you to look at a picture,,,,,,  THAT's IT  - -
VIRUS !
good luck.  Pat & Michael  O'Gaul-lee
