A document titled "iTemplate.xls" opens each time I use Excel. My searches led me to research on VBS_GEDZA.A . I ran ATF Cleaner, Spybot (current), and Adaware, all coming up clean. More research led me to Trend Micro's System Cleaner (run from "sysclean.com"). The latter revealed that I do have infections of VBS_GEDZA.A (apparently). The log was hard to comprehend, but it looked like removal failed (and I'm sure if I did have it, I still do, as iTemplate.xls continues to do it's thing). However, I have not noticed other instances of VBS_GEDZA.A symptoms, although, I did have a virus once before (2004) that may be the same thing as I remember the Avril Lavinge photo popping up once. I used hijack this and another forum to remove it then, but can't locate the archive of that transaction now.
Here's my log:
Again, "Thanks" in advance!

***EDIT
I apologize. I completely forgot to run AVG before posting. I have since, and it detected several instances of VBS_GEDZA.A. It did it's thing with no errors. "iTemplate.xls" seems to be "gone."
