Stinger: http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/
stand-alone utility used to detect and remove specific viruses. It is not a
substitute for full anti-virus protection, but rather a tool to assist
administrators and users when dealing with an infected system. Stinger utilizes
next generation scan engine technology, including process scanning, digitally
signed DAT files, and scan performance optimizations.
Perhaps an online security/virus check

won't work. The computer is slowing down and is having problems opening and
closing programs. In trying to track down the problem, I found a file named
USER - the properties indicates it is a read only, hidden , unknown application
that began on 4/6 (C:\WINDOWS\USER.dat.) When I tried to open a read-only
version I got the message that it "may be an e-mail improperly decoded."

I have McAfee Firewall and AntiVirus software running whenever I am on-line. I
don't know how to fix this problem or how to prevent it from happening again.
