You might care to check www.symantec.com for info on what files may be
appended/altered. Precise removal info is also available. You could also
initiate an online scan at this site, ensure McAffee is not running when
doing so.
Presumably the McAfee site has similar facilities/info, but I dont use it
so....
Zonealarm should co-exist with XP firewall, so perhaps it should be
configured to start on logon?
Re: dead C, Format frm DOS....?
Format/Reinstall is a last resort
PS some people get upset at cross posting
