Hi Bill,
Your computer is likely infected with the Magistr worm. This nasty piece of code goes by many names, including I-Worm.Magistr, PE_MAGISTR.A, W32 .Magistr@mm, W32.Magistr.24876.int, W32/Disemboweler, W32.Magistr.corrupt, W32.Magistr.24876@mm, and W32/Magistr-A according to the Symantec Security Response Web site (http://www.sarc.com).
The following site has a removal tool:

Hope this helps!

This happens to be of interest to me as it boggles my mind that people have nothing better to do than to write a virus. Wish these people, the ones who write viruses would put the knowledge to good use instead. My job as a local tech involves removing viruses and/or spyware.
