You will most likely need to post a Hijack This log so that the files associated with the virus can be identified. You can download Hijack This at this link http://www.tomcoyote.org/hjt/ then place it into a folder of it's on, such as C:\HJT, so that back up copies can be made and not clutter your desktop or other folders and the backup copies of deleted items can be easily located if needed.

Once saved double click HijackThis.exe, and press "Scan". When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log" button.
Press that, save the log, Ctrl-A to Select All, and copy its contents into the text editor.

Do not fix anything yet unless you know what you are doing. This is a powerful tool that can crash the computer if used improperly.

Okay, I ran ewido, I can submit the log if you would like but it found the file mad.dll(in system32) to be the culprit. I have a stand alone bootable CD that can run my operating drive as a slave, but my computer doesnt seem to like bootable CDs. Any ideas on how to get rid of this dll file without taking my HD and slaving into another computer???

The solution has been found. Goto my post at #16942 or look for topic title "spyaxe problems" and the solution is in the topic. I have tried it and am now free of the virus alert. Thank you all for your responses.
