Thanks for the reply.

Well, I managed to fix it using Windows XP Recovery Console. I deleted the virus manually and all seems fine except that when I run Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer runs instead. Do you have any idea on how to fix this?

Thanks in advance!

right click on the Mozilla icon click on properties ensure the target read "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" if it says this>"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" then its pointing to the wrong file a easy fix would be to click on find target change the location and change the icon if you have to

PS is you have system restore enabled when you remove the virus you might want to disable it and delete all system restore point then do a scan and clean then you can turn on system restore and create a pint immediately

open firefox ,go to
tools /option and main tab down the bottom check to see if firefox is the default browser ,and if not make it the default .
