Hello !  thanks to you all for your suggestions (below)  and thanks, Dick for your help... good to know that SAS actually 'did' remove the virus and yes,  i followed its  directions to the 'letter' !!   also did another 'full' scan by SAS  and all was 'clear' - nothing found on the 2nd scan ...

questions:   i do have NIS email settings for in/out scan - but should i still notify people i email that they should scan their computer - can that virus be transmitted to them;  (2) I have PowerEraser installed - should i now run it also (belt-suspenders operation - LOL) ?  (3 )  don't know if i mentioned that i received a photo (attachment) via someone's IPod shortly 'before' getting the virus - could that have been a source however i NEVER open hyperlinks in emails ...(4) from now on, with any photos , i'll do an SAS & MAMB scan; (5)  am i playing with 'fire' running 'two' antispyware programs with NIS and if so, which should i disable? however, BOTH SAS & MAMB are ''free editions' that don't offer ''Real Time Protection - in that case is it alright to leave them in place ?  (6) Have NIS 2012/ 19.7.15 (7)

                          Many many thanks for all your help !!!!!   Edythe  (this was my first virus ever - really threw me !)

PS: do you recommend downloading 'Fixbird' for the 'future' ?
