    This afternoon when I started my computer, it shut down before everything was loaded, then gave me a Microsoft error message. The message indicated that I had a virus which could not be detected by most virus protectors, and advised me to download WINDOWS LIVE SAFETY CENTER. I did so, and the virus was apparently deleted. However, it was contained in 3010 **** files that I didn't know I had. I eventually discovered that they were in C/Documents and Settings/(My Name)/Complete. There is no COMPLETE folder at that location or anywhere in my computer. I cannot find these files; they apparently only show up when I scan for viruses. However, I would like to rid my computer of this trash. Can anyone tell me how?

    Thank you.
