Suspicious Script Warning - What Do I Do?

Question

When I turn my PC on (Dimension8500) a McAfee warning appears which reads,   'A Suspicious Script Has Been Detected. The file C:\WINDOWS\system32\ukryna\svshost.exe contains suspicious scriptong and has been stopped'.   When I choose the find more information option no subsequent message or information appears. When I continue using my PC it runs slowly and I can't access various websites.   Can anyone explain what this message means and, more importantly what I can do to remove the suspicious script and return to 'normal'?   Thanks in advance.

Disable System Restore. Directions here (scroll down for XP) http://vil.nai.com/vil/SystemHelpDocs/DisableSysRestore.htm Scan your PC; appears you have a virus. http://housecall.trendmicro.com/

Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately the warning message still appears when I restart my PC after carrying out both suggested actions. I would be grateful for any other suggestions.

Repost your problem on this board. They are more familiar with this than I.

Did you notice the name of the virus ? It may be this one so that may save the virus board people some time. http://us.mcafee.com/virusInfo/default.asp?id=description&virus_k=134283

Tell them what you have done re System Restore and the online scan.
