recently my PC at work got a virus named pe.parite.a. i got rid of it but now everytime i start up my PC a browser opens up on the Site of www.gecevakti.com (not sure of the exact spelling).

the person who used to use this PC had installed a hotbar. guess she doesnt know what she was doing and now i am bothered of this page.

The PC at work is an XP with 128mb ram
