Hi Amado, Joke.Flipped is usually a stand alone program (executable), which requires manual execution. It is one of many joke programs which one usually installs, as a joke, on a friends computer. It's also possible, but not likely, your neighbor received it in an e-mail and executed the program himself not knowing what it was. Usually, after the joke has run it's course, the "joker" will come forward and reveal himself. A simple file search (Start / Search / For Files or Folders...) should reveal it's location and it can be deleted from there. A free online scan at HouseCall (http://housecall.antivirus.com) has detected programs such as this for me.

I did a search at Symantec's web site and came back with the joker.flipped virus, the problem is he says he's run his A/V scanner ( Norton 2003 with updated definitions) and comes back clean. Does anybody know any other way to get rid of this pest? TIA. Amado PCSOFT maintains many useful files for download visit our download web page at: http://freepctech.com/downloads.shtml
