Yet again, I am tossing my 2 cents worth in until some
one qualified gets to this:
I'm a little fuzzy on what exactly is going on concerning
your problem - perhaps you could post giving your
operating system, and the exact name of the virus/trojan
you have found on local C, and what antivirus product you
used to get that information?
Since you indicate that Word isn't running properly, the
following article from this group's FAQs on pop-ups may
not apply, but I'll throw it out anyway:
>>Q. I keep getting pop up messages while I am on the
internet, what can I do to get rid of these? A. There are
two types of popups. One uses the 'messenger service'
included with Windows 2000 and Windows XP. To rid yourself
of these, install a firewall (see above). The second type
of popup is triggered by web-pages you visit. These can be
controlled by a popup stopper. You can get one free from
http://www.panicware.com <<
If you need free antivirus software to identify infectors
on your system, you can find it at http://www.grisoft.com
My last suggestion would be to be sure that your system
has all the latest critical updates, to patch it against
vulnerabilities - these are available (again, for free) at
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com
Good luck.
