It sounds like you got a single virus that replicates itself, and infects other files on your PC.

I had about 200 of the same virus but the rest are dif, trojans and so on. Looking at the names, the one I cant get off is PWS.Hooker.Trojan.

I've been running Norton for about 2 years. I kept my Norton up to date about every 2 or 3 days. I decided to check out AVG and it found 7 viruses.

Did we learn something from this experience??
Get some AV software. Keep it up to date. Run a scan at least once a month. |

The firewall in SP 2 is not the same as the original one. Most obviously, it blocks traffic in both directions, not just inbound. |

Yeah I read something similar, don't use this computer for anything but Ent, so maybe he will steal my afrcom pass and make me into a bigger ass.  But yeah I would be worried if it was on a computer used for bills etc. |

I had several hundred myself. I think I got them from a link on this forum to a video on ogorish.com. I used some freeware on the internet that only partially helped (adware and spybot). I then bought pestpatrol and that took care of it.
FWIW....Bomber |

And depending on what/where you're surfing (ESPECIALLY if you surf any foreign sites), you might want to have it scan once a day, maybe at 2:00 A.M. or something, while you're asleep. Running once a month only is begging for problems. (Or would be with the knuckleheads that I have to keep an eye on....)
