Already started a string of replys on this but one of the MasterGeeks told me to re-post with a new heading so here goes....15 minutes ago I had no idea what I was up against and now I've got a thorough and correct diagnosis of the problem...but still need to know how to fix.
Thanks TJay and MJC.

THis is what they say on that site that MJC led me to.....I'm still so impressed that you diagnosed so quickly and right on.....

"CA's InoculateIT detects the Plage2000 worm. To clean the worm, all executable files reported as infected must be deleted. If the worm cannot be deleted, users must remove the registry entry and the WIN.INI entry (if found), reboot, and then delete the executable file."

What does all that mean? I suppose I know how to go through Windows Explorer and delete the INETD.exe. Is it that simple. Do I need INETD.exe for anything else? How do I remove the registry entry? or the WIN.INI entry?
