Bunch of files were renamed to .vbs on my PC. I had removed all those files with extension .vbs, .js and .css, and MSKernel32, Win32DLL.vbs with today's date, and restarted the system. I found the names of these files from the E-Mail posted here by sfcawley_at_interaccess.com. It is OK now. Thanks for posting the details. I opened it before I read his E-Mail. If anything else I should do, please let me know.

Thanks ,
