What virus scanner are you using? I did a definition search for the virus def you have listed and nothing shows up at all about that Definition.  |  IP: Logged James Falloon Film Handler Posts: 72 From: Wigram, Christchurch, New Zealand Registered: Oct 2003 posted 05-11-2004 05:21 AM                     check out http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.pinfi.html And http://www3.ca.com/threatinfo/virusinfo/virus.aspx?id=13676 Just under description there is a removal tool Hope this helps  |  IP: Logged
