what is it.. how do you remove it.
I didn't open the file.. just Ctrl Alt deleted it as soon as it came up that here was a virius attached to the Email.
Scanned system with AVG check.. and it still shows as there.
also done a Ad Ware run too...
another Virus scan still seems to show the PayPal Worm virus
I-Worm/Mimail.j???????

Phil, chill!!!
if the virus is a .PIF, and you didn't actually (double-)click on it, then you should be OK. All this is assuming that you received it via e-mail.
Delete the message containing the virus, empty your wastebaskets, then run another virus scan to check that it has been banished.

I did a file search for 'paypal' on the pc... and.. there were only three files found.
so i deleted them.
ran the virus test again... nothing then came up.
so think i'm ok.
