Hi

It doesn't matter whether you work a PC company or not. Boot into Safe Mode
and then run the virus check via the MS link I provided - don't worry about
MacAfee. You will then be sure if that PC is infected.

If you work for a PC company - please ensure that you a firewall running at
all times and that Windows Update is set to 'Automatic'.

The F word rules.

BTW - when you start to use a news reader, you might like to enable the
spellchecker!!
