a) Please no HTML in newsgroups.
b) Yes, TBAV will find CIH, but I wouldn't recommend using TbClean to
   remove it. Delete infected files and replace them with clean
   back-ups.
c) Your "security measure" is more idiotic than any reply could be.
   Lots of different people with different opinions and different
   degrees of intelligence participate in newsgroups. If you can't
   stand idiotic replies, throw your modem away.
d) I don't have the abuse email address of my ISP handy. May I send
   it later?
