    hi dave and lanwench!!
    i did what dave suggested me to do. i went to trendmicro pages and
    downloaded those files and did twice the cleaning. no viruses were found. why
    this?? is it because of norman put that virus into guarantine?? what is a
    difference between a safe mode and a common mode which is in use??

    lanwench, i have a personal firewall, but unfortunately backups are
    something i don't do. maybe after this i should.....
    thank you everybody for all your help i got. THANKS
