Where did you find it?
If in the C:\_Restore folder tree, then it can't harm your PC, unless you
use System Restore to go back to a time After you were originally infected,
but Before you detected and removed the infection.

There is normally no such folder\file in the Me root. Delete
it. Run another scan to make sure that when deleted it did
not replicate itself.

Thanks, Bally - I thought I'd responded to this one yesterday?

You probably have the I-lookup worm/spyware

http://www.spy-bot.net/ILookup.asp

reboot to Safe Mode, and delete the C:\install.htm file from there

You may have a virus/spyware hijack

download the Stinger from here and run it to make sure that A-V-disabling
viruses are not present on your PC
http://download.nai.com/products/mca...rt/stinger.exe

- update your virus scanner and run a full system scan of all files.

Reboot to Safe Mode and run CWShredder - to remove variants of the
CoolWebSearch hijacker.
http://www.merijn.org/cwschronicles.html

Use CWShredder, the removal tool:
http://www.merijn.org/files/cwshredder.zip
http://www.merijn.org/files/CWShredder.exe
http://www.spywareinfo.com/downloads...CWShredder.exe
http://www.zerosrealm.com/downloads/CWShredder.zip

download AdAware from www.lavasoftusa.com, install, update, and run it to
remove spyware, adware,
and other such nasties from your system.

go to your IIS site settings and look at the documents
tab...make sure there is no document footer. if there is
something that looks like iis6b7.dll or similar, it is a
fake plain text file that is causing your problems.
