Just to tell everyone that this nasty piece of goods is doing the rounds!!!
My AVG virus checker caught it but couldn't heal it as it was a
necessary XP file WININET.DLL.
Whatever you do ignore that warning given by XP to reinistall. IT WON'T and you will have to delete at least the whole XP directory and do a cold install.
It is possible to acquire a new WININET.dll from the net but be careful as many of them are also infected!
I'm having to reinstall FS9 and hopefull i can retain all my addon a/c and scenery!

You can ask a friend to send you a copy of the uninfected
wininet.dll or download it here
www.dll-files.com
Than you can use use the software Killbox
http://www.scancomplete.com/download/killbox/
to replace it. This software gives you the possibility to select a file wich will be deleted on reboot (when windows
doesn´t use it) and replace this file with another one
(the uninfected version).
In some cases even Killbox can´t delete a file on reboot.
But it´s worth a try.
