I think you have a virus known as Duster which has arrived courtesy of Kazza.

Youre on the ball tonight Clive  

I have been checking up on that for the last 20 minutes and came back to post it and youve beaten me to it by miles  

NB. Spooner, after deleting the virus do the registery editing thing mentioned at the bottom of Clives link or it appears it slows your internet down even after the virus has been removed

it doesn`t say anything about xp at the bottom

start->run->sysedit

Modify the system.ini file as per the 98 / Me instructions (find the shell = explorer.exe command and make sure there is nothing after the explorer.exe)
