We're not mindreaders. If you'd /told/ us what you were seeing when Google
"said" you were infected, we might have been able to provide assistance.
The information we'd need is listed in the link I'd posted in my first
reply: http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm

Before going into detail, clearly summarize the problem.
Make a concise, clear description of the problem...
If you are getting error messages, include the exact text in the error
message. If there is a "Details" button, click it and copy/paste the error
message itself into the post. If you are using Windows Millennium Edition
(Windows Me) press Atl+D to bring up the detailed error message. For XP, if
there is an Event ID and Source, include it as well.
Tell if an error occurs when doing some action or using some particular
software.
What changed in your system shortly before the problem occurred? Knowing
about a setting change or added software or hardware may be helpful in
solving the problem.
Briefly describe your machine, video card, CPU, amount of RAM, hard drive
size and amount of free space.
Identify clearly the steps and procedures you have already used to try to
fix the problem.
