Hi Chuck,
I took that leap of faith and disabled system restore. I ran Stinger with
the REMOVE button checked (in Preferences). This is the Report Log it made:

McAfee AVERT Stinger Version 2.4.4.0 built on Nov 8 2004
Copyright (C) 2004 Networks Associates Technology, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Virus data file v1000 created on Nov 8 2004.
Ready to scan for 45 viruses, trojans and variants.
Scan initiated on Tue Nov 16 17:57:42 2004
 Number of clean files: 50782

I can't tell from this if it found anything--but I guess you can.
When I connected to the internet after doing this, I got a message saying
something about "...Win32Time...", and then I lost my internet connection.
I re-started my computer.
Did I do something wrong? What should I do now?
