Asked & answered in another group. In the future, please don't multipost -
if you need to post to multiple groups, it's best to crosspost instead, by
posting a single message to a handful of relevant groups (separate the NG
names with commas) so that everyone can follow the thread. Multiposting
wastes everyone's time, including yours, and may lead to your actually
getting *less* help rather than more.

Here is a good starting place for getting rid of stuff.

Additionally, you may wish to perform more thorough scans for viruses
and
malware with other tools:

This is a Microsoft Usenet news group and you are accessing it via a http (web) front-end
