load runner virus help

[cornelio@san.rr.com (L. Cornelio)]

A teacher contacted me & says her machines contacted this ancient virus.

I have never seen it myself, but if anyone has a tip on how to eradicate,
please contact her at brinpat@thegrid.net as this is not a person who
reads newsgroups.

I am sure she will appreciate the help!

thanks
