Thanks for the help. Fortunately I did get rid of it. I tried sysclean in
safe mode and that told me I had an unknown virus. I rebooted and ran
sysclean again then I ran AVG and it allowed me to move the virus to the
vault. When I went to empty the virus vault the virus was in the vault
several times so I don't know what was going on.
I will check out Spybot Search and Destroy.
Thanks
Mark
