Answer 1

Here's a website to find out about this virus.

you can run a free virus scan from Trend Micro at their site
http://housecall.trendmicro.com/

Or, if you haven't already, purchase a program like Norton AntiVirus or
McAfee. These are their sites for more info., but you may be able to
find
them cheaper at any of various online stores.

http://www.mcafee.com/

But if you can't do that right this second, then go to the top link
above
and run the free one.
