Well...i'm getting pissed off now becasue i have a nasty virus that has attached itself to my computer.

the definition is W32.pinfi and i can't seem to get it out of my system.. i am going to try turning off my Sys Restore and cleaning out the virus in safe mode, but I worry that my virus software may delete important material in it's efforts to find the virus... anyone with any experiance with this virus??

What is the full name of the virus that your system is showing with your virus scanner. What virus scanner are you using? I did a definition search for the virus def you have listed and nothing shows up at all about that Definition.
