The way to answer the "do I have a virus?" question is to scan with a
current version (not earlier than 2003) antivirus using updated
definitions. If you don't have one, get one immediately. Here is a good
one: http://www.my-etrust.com/microsoft

Obviously, you would need to download this on a computer with a working
Internet connection and a cd-rw drive.
