Yes, and I think I had them all!!! I have Windows 98SE so didn't have System Restore. I ran Stinger and Win32 Bagle removal tool from Safe Mode, plus a friend came down and did some manual removals. So far, it's working OK...but I won't know until I shut it off tonight and reboot tomorrow. This is very frustrating for someone who's totally computer challenged :(.

Actually there are about 24 known variants of the Bagel. After running the
tool again, I'd also run the online scanner at:

to make sure all of it is gone, in addition to the McAfee. One of the
first things that the Bagel virus does is turn off all known anti-virus
programs (processes) that are in memory. It may have disables your McAfee
before it had a chance to recognize it.
