Old Virus called FunLove - Remote Downlevel Documents

[Kativs]

What happens if you find what appears to be an old virus called FunLove...the removal instructions talk about using a backup floppy but our new pc's don't have floppy disks.
I found this virus by seeing in my print que shows "Remote Downlevel Documents" which we could not get rid of. So I searched the net and read about this FunLove virus. Does this mean the virus has been on this computer ALL THIS TIME?? Should I be concerned??
Thanks,

I'm guessing you read this:

:which is scary. But under More Information I read the first article:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/Q134779/EN-US/

:and that one indicates that it could be a spooler problem from a program using DOS. (was that PC only UPGRADED? or OEM Installation?

You might want to look at this discussion:

It may give you some help or other options to try like (only if you don't have too many PCs to deal with) shutting off every PC, stop/start print spooler then turn on one pc at a time to see which one is the culprit. Again, take a look and maybe figure something out.

In the mean time if you look around, you can probably purchase a USB floppy or internal one for McAfee's suggestion.
