That sounds suspiciously like one of those "rogue" antivirus programs designed to separate you from your money.

Can you download and run these highly regarded malware scanners?

Helper7677, thank you for your help. I was locked out of my e-mail by the virus. I fiinally did a restore to a week ago, and now I'm back. Do you think I'm still infected?
