right click on my computer and go to properties, click system restore tab and turn it off, then delete the email from your inbox,outbox,sent items and deleted items. Delete "C:\documents and settings\yourusername\localsettings\temp files, NOT the folder, just the files. Then reboot and run your antivirus 3-4 times. This should remove it. Hope that helps Ian
