Get a good virus checker and make it scan all files (not just EXE and
other executable types).
If that does not help, i wipe the drive (use a utility for that), and
re-install everything.
After all the programs are re-installed, then i copy my personal data
files fom my backup hard drive.
You *do* backup, don't you?
