I may have a VIRUS?

by JimJoeBobChuck May 21, 2005 6:55AM PDT

I clicked on MS Word which was missing an .exe so MS OFFICE asked me to place the install cd in the drive and it was fixed.

Then I clicked on both of my adware programs were missing .exe so then

When I clicked on Quicken it was totally gone.... Not sure whats up I am behind a WEP encrypted router while running up to date Norton internet security. Although it will not update subscriptions now.

I am also seeing that I am not allowed to download the only critical update available for me from Windows Update.

I am running a dual boot O/S: Server 2003 and Windows XP

I get the feeling that when I ran defrag on all drives it may have thrown files all over the place.. is this part of the downside to running a dual boot?

HELP ME...
