I have done something dumb

Peaches · 11-04-2003

At the end of every day, I delete all my Eudora attachments which aren't ones I want to keep. Most are garbage and/or viruses.

The other day, I was being hasty and hit the wrong button and one started opening up. I hit esc, stop, help, don't do this - every button I could but apparently it didn't work.

Now there's a file that won't let me delete it called nav.pif. It's telling me it's being used. In looking around Google, I see that it's the Sober worm. I ran a virus check on my computer and it doesn't find the Sober worm. I tried running one I found on the net for this worm in particular and it locked up. I don't THINK I opened the file completely.

My computer is running very slow now.

Any suggestions on what I can do? I feel like such a dope - I've never had a virus on my computer and now this. :angry:
