    One of my workstations has been infected by the virus. It appears to have been around for awhile. Do you guys have any idea of a simple solution to get rid of it. Everything I've read seems to be very complicated, and they appear to be tailored to each user. I'm not supposed to mess with it, but I feel I can removed, I just don't want to get caught doing so. ;) Thanks.

    Start up Windows in Safe mode and run a full system scan with your preferred AV program. This is a common way to remove malware.

    Thanks for the info! I'll have to run it by my manager, I dunno if I can get it all done and erased before they come in! ;)
