My first post... Hello to all!

Now my problem... First off, I did search this forum before posting. Also checked Symantec for help....big zero

I noticed 3 days or so ago that I had a couple files I could not delete ....message said they were in use. Tried shutting down any and all applications but the bare minimum....no effect. Virus scans showed my PC was clean. And I am religious about updating definitions. So while browsing the web yesterday, I get a virus alert. It labeled the cause as 'URL-Directory-Transversal' and said that it originated on my network. Now although I am config'd for networks (LAN-gaming and such), I'm not on an active full-time network. I ran regedit to look for anything suspicious, tho I might as well have been looking for mouse feathers in a haystack. Also ran services.msc to see if anything running might resemble any other virus/trojan I found while browsing symantec. The only other thing of note that I found was that both files (which are .exe files), in properties>program>advanced (Windows PIF Settings) showed 'Autoexec filename: %SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT' and 'Config filename: %SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\CONFIG.NT'. I have no idea if that means anything.

I dl'd the files on Kazaa (it's ok to laugh...I'm a shmuck). They were old MS-DOS games, or so I thought. However, they did not give any virus alert upon download completion. But then again, they didn't work either...hence my trying to delete them

So, when everyone is done having a good bellylaugh, does anyone have an idea how I can fix this and avoid rebuilding my system? Gah...having an unclean system gives me that scotchtape-stuck-to-a-cat's-paw reflexive twitch
