I'd run a scan. I used the McAfee and the F-protect mentioned in the article. If you can, you could turn off your restore temporarily, just to make sure you don;t recreate it and see what happens.

My daughters PC got sick a week before the first, so I think she just picked up a stubborn virus.

You are right, though, it may have lain dormant until recently.

Where are the real nerds at when you need them? Is there a Star Trek marathon on SciFi tonight...
