I,
Unfortunately was infected witha vrudu virus from an old file that has been on my computer for at least 3 years.I wanted to see what was inside of the zip and turned off auto protect after it blocked the file attachment from opening.
My bad!!!
I saw the file ,found nothing of interest,and deleted it.
Went to sleep and woke up with a gulp and multiple screens stating that I was infected.
Dropped into safe mode , ran NIS2009 ,found the culprit,and was back in operation.
I did have to re-install NIS2009 when back into XP though.
Strange but true.
