An end-user at work infected their pc with rarype32.exe by clicking in the .zip attachment of a bogus UPS email. The zip attachment didn't appear to do anything (according to the user). They recieved a application failed to inialize message, the firewall was disabled, explorer.exe was terminated and then the computer turned off. Was able to boot into safemode as the local administrator to clear the virus.

I ran the freefixer scan but it isn't detecting the rarype32.exe file.
Earlier I installed Norton 360 - the latest and greatest (?), it didn't detect it as a virus but in it's "Start Manager" it is listed to start up and it's location.
As soon as I plug in my internet connection, my PC shuts down with the "Generic host process for Win32 services has encountered a problem". When running the PC without internet connection it seems to work ok.
System originally shut down on Friday 15 with "Generic..." message and I've been unable to get much further. Using a friend's computer in attempt to fix.
Sure could use some help as I am at my wits-end !
