I tried everything, no luck. I even went into safe mode and deleted the files, and when I did a regular reboot, the virus warning popped up again.
A desktop guy at work told me to try this: Go to System Restore and check the box that says "Turn Off System Restore." Then reboot in Safe Mode and delete the file. XP has a habit of self-setting restore points, and it may be restoring itself to the virus if the virus is residing in the system file; XP may be telling itself it's necessary to restore it.
This is apparently a very new virus, and it may be a couple of days before McAfee or Norton have a manual removal tool.
Good luck to us both.
Louise
