Hi there. I downloaded Ewido as you recommended, updated the
definitions, and then ran the software in SafeMode, and voila, Ewido
identified the virus and quarantined it. Thanks for all your help.
Phew!

BTW, just to let you know, Ewido identified the virus as
"Downloader.Conhook.aa" and "Downloader.Conhook.ab"

The Conhook is NOT a virus.
It is a Trojan that is similar in functionality to the Vundo Trojan.

At the risk of sounding stupid, I've never actually heard of the Vundo...
any links that could be useful?
