Wife's computer got malware

I had that on mine a few weks ago. I got rid of the av soft by deleting cookies, temp internet files then restarting the pooter and running system restore right away. I dont know what fixed it, I guess system restore but whatever, it worked.

Read today of a new attack / vulnerability in IE6 and IE7. All you have to do is visit an infected web page and a trojan gets downloaded.

Thanks for the tips though.

I agree! But does anyone know who makes these viruses? Have many people been caught and prosecuted for making them?

I have heard, rumors only, that the companies that sell virus protection fund them to help their busineses. I hear other people say it is computer students practicing their skills. Others say it is being done in China or by Bin Laden.

Eastern Europe and Russia, mostly.
