Hi Lori

Yes this is a virus.  I helped a friend get rid of this. He had not updated his virus protection in some time.  I loaded Norton Anti-Virus on his machine and did an update and it kicked the virus right up and deleted the infected files.  The only drawback was the infected file was in windows, so I had to reinstall Windows 98 SE.  I can't remember the name of the virus but any anti-virus program should help.

  Subject: [PCSOFT] desktop icon problem


  Hi all-

  I know this problem was addressed already but I didn't pay attention.  I'm running Win98 and today my icons started "jumping around" the screen when the mouse pointer runs across them.  At one point the mouse pointer was "chasing" them around the screen.  Does anybody know what could be causing this and how to fix it?  Is it some kind of virus?  Any help would be appreciated.
  Thanks
