What viruses were found?

Many current viruses reinstall themselves if you don't get every scrap, and
also are good at disabling software intended to halt them. One of the more
successful approaches has been to use an online antivirus scanner - slow,
especially on dial-up, but they work! - since the viruses on your computer
can't delete the files on the web server. I have a section of free online
virus scannes on http://aumha.org/secure.htm -

You may also have parasites instead of (or in addition to) viruses. Here are
steps for identifying and removing parasites:
