Bruce, Thanks...It's not often that someone comes along with a link that completely takes care of the problem. Yours did!
I used the Symantec removal tool and it deleted three infected files.
They also recommended a patch, which I installed.
Then, I went into the registry........and it was completely gone!(the virus I mean...:)
I then removed the firewall and now, everything is wunnnerful!
Thanks.
