I was unable to start my computer and or save any of the programs, or files on the disk. I have since then fixed my computer, and I have been unable to find out what kind of virus it was. I just wish to tell everyone I can about the effects of it, so they will at least have advanced warning. First it starts off deleting rundll32, which is the basic system file of windows, and then it mainly attacts your program files, rather than others. I was able to track the virus to a Program file for my ISP, and affected my modem, while deleting a keyboard file. After it attemps to start up, you get the "It is now safe to turn your computer off, and it never finish loading windows. Again, I just wish to warn people about this virus, not to cause any commotion. I have no clue where it came from, but I am thinking it might be part of a Java Applet virus, inserted in a web page. I since then have gotten the most advanced Anti Virus Programs, and I am still on the look out. Thank You, and I will finish the final installment ASAP, also, be on the look out for a new series from me, soon. Hope to hear from ya soon, Shawn ICQ # 31355460 MadCat109@yahoo.com http://www.angelfire.com/ny3/shawn/
