OK. I think.
F-Secure's scan found eight viruses, and when I told it to do automatic cleanup came back with the note that none had been removed. When I wanted to clean by hand, I couldn't get past the "no change" screen. Nor would it show me the scanning report. But it did give me the filenames.
So, run: cmd gets me a command line, and we go to the most likely place. Delete a bunch of files from the Eudora attach directory. Find (whew!) that I _could_ open the recycle bin and empty it. Reboot. So far, so good (but that's only about 20 minutes). Based on the filenames in question, I've sent a warning to a couple of people: not, based on timing, that I think they're the main source of the infection, and in fact those may have been false positives, but that they should scan their systems.
