For what it is worth (and this applies to those who use winxp pro btw)
I did manage to get rid of the virus..turns out the explorer.exe and winlogon.exe file in windows.0 was infected. Deleting them and restoring them off of your installation disk did that for me.
BUT..also check your host file..c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc
look at that file..and there should be only ONE entry in the first file..and that is the local host ip address. Anything else should be deleted out.
Thanks for everyone's input too!
