I was able to remove it with McAffee VirusScan. Someone else told me they
eradicated it with Symantec's virus scanner. However I had to restore all of my
JPGs and GIFs from a backup, they were all clobbered. Also I had to reinstall
Netscape because the virus breaks the prefs.js file so that Netscape can no
longer store preferences.
