@ Colonel Sanders up there....
YOU FOOL!! AVG Free Edition is one of the best anti-virus programs you can have.
@ Heather:
run this FREE online virus scan:
http://housecall.trendmicro.com/
and then, to be sure, run this one after:
http://www.pandasoftware.com/products/activescan.htm
Either one should locate that virus and help you get rid of it.
(each scan could take an hour or more depending on your system)
After those scans, download and install this FREE AVG AV on your system to keep you virus free:
