    The first thing is there are News Groups specifically created for this type of discussion...

    microsoft.public.scripting.virus.discussion
    microsoft.public.security.virus
    alt.comp.virus
    alt.comp.anti-virus

    The second is that based upon the listed infectors, you are NOT insituting a FireWall. You
    MUST have an up-to-date anti virus package and institute a FireWall.

    1) Download the following two items...

            Trend Sysclean Package
             http://www.trendmicro.com/download/dcs.asp

             Latest Trend signature files.
             http://www.trendmicro.com/download/pattern.asp

    2) If you are using WinME or WinXP, disable System Restore
                http://vil.nai.com/vil/SystemHelpDocs/DisableSysRestore.htm
    3) Reboot your PC into Safe Mode
    4) Using the Trend Sysclean utility, perform a Full Scan of your platform and
            clean/delete any infectors found
    5) Restart your PC and perform a "final" Full Scan of your platform
    6) If you are using WinME or WinXP,Re-enable System Restore and re-apply any
                System Restore preferences, (e.g. HD space to use suggested 400 ~ 600MB),
    7) Reboot your PC.
    8) If you are using WinME or WinXP, create a new Restore point
    9) Please report back your results
