I am in the same boat as all of you with the I found %n's picture virus. McAfee scans and doesn't find anything, then it randomly comes up saying that there's a virus in something like C:\system volume information or something similar to that. Im going to keep searching but if anyone find a cure please tell me.

hey people, I think I got just the right thing for all those who is stuck with the virus mentioned on December 3, 2003. I got a link to a program. Just simply click open and let it works on its own. It works pretty fast. It opens and closes without you notice, so don't let it fool you and think that it didn't work. Here is the link:

After you get rid of that, you might want to install ad-aware if you don't have it already to get rid of all the pop-up ads. Here is the link:

Hope it comes in handy.
