       Be thankful you can access your important files. I would strongly
recommend that you backup your important files, including emails, etc and
then running virus scan on them. Then rebuild your computer from scratch
with a reformatted drive. Your computer has been compromised, and rebuilding
it is by far the best solution and will save you time in the long run and
give you peace of mind. --- Steve
