Never heard of that one, and nor has Symantec. Are you sure you have got the name right? (My apologies if you have, it's just not very often Symantec doesn't know of a virus)

Here you go : http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.pinfi.html

Fortuntaly it's a low threat virus, so your not in major trouble. All info is on that site.

Thanks-after I did that, though, it still takes forever for Outlook Express to open for some reason(even some pop-up windows in internet explorer take a while to load now)-what do I do about this?

Not really sure m8 as I haven't had the virus personally.

Maybe hold out and see if someone else has encountered it.

i had it, and I've never encountered any problems with outlook of anything of that kind. It must be a coinsidence, try cleaning your registry.
