The virus WAS on my computer (it has since been removed).

HOW EVER!!! Using the technique (as Ron descrided above) I was NOT ABLE to delete the virus!!!

I could NOT delete shimgapi.dll or Taskmon.exe as the files were IN USE by Windows. Norton Antivirus (after I downloaded the latest virus definition) DID find it, but was UNABLE to delete any of the files.

All though I was able to delete the "Start Up" line in the registry it was RE-CREATED when I re-booted.

I would NOT assume all can or will be able to delete this virus at this time!

So how did I get rid of it? I use a second hard drive that occasionaly I use to "mirror" my main drive. I simple swapped my C drive for my D drive (changed the cables) and then was able to delete the files on what was the old C drive (now D). Done in about 15 minutes.

For the rest of you, Good Luck!
