I am having trouble with a virus that is on my computer that I can't find/get rid of. I originally found msbb.exe and was able to get rid of that. But something is still creating the following files in \Windows\Temp:
bridge.exe
baseball.bmp
britney.bmp
dreamworks.bmp
garnier.bmp
winterfresh.bmp
I also suspect it is using up alot of memory as I can no longer launch some existing applications.
Any/all help would be greatly appreciated

It seems this is not a virus but spyware/adware. Read this post http://www.computing.net/security/wwwboard/forum/10334.html

Hope it helps.
