TSGL: virus

[H Davis]

Gene,

Take a look at HijackThis <http://majorgeeks.com/download3155.html>. I'm 
not sure what its current state is but a couple of years ago you could 
run HijackThis and it would produce a log file that you would post on 
one of several forums and knowledge folks would help you decipher it and 
instruct you how to resolve your problem.

I've never taken advantage of the service myself but have read lots of 
forums where users were being lead through the process. My impression is 
that most of the helpful folks know what they are doing. You're mileage 
may vary of course.

There is also the possibility that it's a false positive. Is the thing 
you've detected a real virus? Have you looked it up on the Symantec or 
McAfee sites? Also, check the sites of the AV programs that detect it 
and see if there's any discussion on their forums of how to get rid of 
it or false positives.

Good luck,

H Davis
