I have just run the free virus scan from the McAfee website. It highlighted a virus known as       exploit-mydoom. I downloaded a fix tool from symantic, but when i ran the program, it could not detect any viruses. I also scanned my system from the microsoft website, and again no viruses could be detected.

I also keep getting  `hidden` files appearing within my file listings, these are typicall DAT files, named as hpothb07, or system files that were previously not there. Has anyone got any ideas about what is happening?

 

Thanks
