This really looks like an Outlook /InternetExplorer virus or trojan horse 
through either malicious ActiveX control installed w/o your permission or 
malicious VBScript/JavaScript activated on a malicious email/webpage.

Nope, I don't know how to get rid of the virus. 

Well... actually: "I say we take off, and nuke the site from orbit. It's the 
only way to be sure". So if you really want to wipe everything clean, just 
install Linux.


Salut,
