Urgent - Help needed

[Dalwinder]

Hi

Today, I switched on my computer and I get the following messages;

====================
Vet Resident Protection Version 10.2.5.0

First, I get this message......

c:\windows\system\scam32.exe is win32.sircam.137216 worm. Not Restored.

And then it keep on getting this message.......

c:\recycled\sirc32.exe is win32.sircam.137216 worm. Not Restored.

===================

When I click on any Application program, I get the above message.

I have tried everything and it will not let me do anything at all. From Dos, I tried to look for these files so that I can delete it but no sign of these files at all.

After serveral attempts, I managed to log onto Internet and post this message to ask for your help.

I have lot of stuff on my hard Drive which I do not want to loose.

On my computer, I have installed InoculateIT Personal Edition virius Software and ZoneAlarm Firewall. Yesterday, I did update my InoculateIT virus signatures and other than I do not know why I get message.

Any help would be much appreciated.....

Thanks
