Help Norton and Kaspersky can't find virus or worm!

I understand your frustration Trax1963, and it certainly looks like you have a bitter pill to swallow.

However, in keeping with KISS methodology, I have three questions;

Q1.....Do you have automatic MS Windows Updates, and do you install them....the critical and important?

Q2.....Have you run the Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool? Jan 09 Version here; Download details: Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool

Q3.....I am aware that a Java script nasty can embed itself right in the Drive and location that you mention..... D:\Recycle Bin, and that the Windows Live OneCare Safety Scanner has successfully located it and given details at the scan finish on how to quarantine and remove it. Have you tried the Windows Live OneCare Safety Scanner, beta Version for Vista....Full Scan? Here; Windows Live OneCare safety scanner: Free online tool for PC health and safety NOTE: You'll need to download this and run it in MS Windows Internet Explorer to succeed.

Both are free to use, worth a try, and often overlooked as useful tools.

By the way, the latest Version of the Malicious Software Removal Tool, is due for release with other MS Windows Updates, on Tuesday this week.

Hope this helps.
