Malicious Software Update 3/13 Windows 2000

On 3/12 my computer worked great. When I turned it on and logged on on 3/13,
Windows assumed I was a new user even though I used my same ID
(Administrator) and password. In searching my 'Documents and Settings'
folder I discovered that I have a new folder labeled Administrator.Mary (Mary
is the name of my computer). For some reason this is being used instead of
the one labeled Administrator which has all my settings in it. What can I do
to get back to my original folder so I can use Outlook. The only thing that
happened was that the Malicious Software Update was automatically downloaded.
This has run before on my computer and has not caused a problem but that is
the only thing that is different.

Same thing happened here. Spent 3 hours on line to no avail. Still no
outlook. I also disabled my Norton. Thanks Microsoft. Let me know it anyone
knows how to fix this.
