I also had it checked by a professional just to make sure.. but it is gone!
thank you!

mysticjoz, you should go ahead and dump McAfee too and install AVG, it's more of a professional antivirus program that any of those bundled brands. I got more viruses with McAfee than any other. I've been using AVG for over three years now and have never had one single issue with my system. If you are interested there's another thread in here somewhere, I'll have to find it where I posted the link to their freeware Antivirus & Antispam.
