upon reading this i tried all the fixes listed and it did not resolve my problem i did however download norton and it found approx. 200 files infected with the w32.magistr virus also i when i downloaded yahoo messenger norton went crazy and found 22 files inside the messenger download coming straight from yahoo so if you download this program be sure to scan it Mcafee will not detect it i recommend norton because the virus actually infected mcafee,how safe is that
