Do I have a Virus?? - GoFuckYourself.com

All of a sudden all my mp3 files got renamed to filename.mp3.vbs and I'm unable to rename them since it says they are in use. Also, My homepage got changed to some fortunecity page's linuz32.exe . Plus some very strange things are in my startup (not the startup folder) so I'm afraid to restart windows. I'm running Norton Antivirus right now but it will take some time, still not detected anything. Any clue as to what this might be?

I see there is a virus called vbs. I think I know how I got it - by double clicking on a vbs file that was there on my desktop - that started the whoe thing..

You double clicked a VBS that you didn't recognize? Whoa. Looks like you made a boo boo. You might want to switch to McAfee. Norton misses too much stuff.

I got confused and thought vbs was some kinda audio format.. I hope I havent lost much, from reading about the virus it seems to delete lots of stuff!
