Thank you to write here Amir, else I could have think the next message i have
received from you would be a virus again.

At 18:00 i observed the virus created me an Explore.exe file in my
c:\windows\system directory and he call it in my "win.ini" file with a line:

run=c:\windows\system\explore.exe

I've delete it and now the PC looks well.

The virus infected me another computer who was in the same net, but I know it
when i restart it and try to use my C compiler. I think the virus activate it
(his .C file task) only after you restart your computer.

Well the best is nothing serius has hapen.

Regards,

Eugenio.
