I ran the risk as well, and yes the virus is still there along with the WMF virus.

Your server only serves up what you supply. If what you supply contains a virus, then your server will give it to the web. What you have uploaded to the server therefore must contain the viruses that we have found. So the answer to your question "where do they come from" is your own computer.

As you have recently bought Norton Internet Security I would suggest that you do a full system scan on your own PC using Norton and clear up any problems that are found. You then need to delete all the files from your server. You can do this from control panel if you have one, or by FTP. However it may be best to ask your admin to delete your files for you and reformat your web space, as viruses do have a nack of returning once killed. Then you should have a clean web space, and a clean computer from which to upload your files.

If your own computer doesn't have any problems, then just clean up your web space and upload everything again. If this doesn't cure the problem then you really do have a very weird problem.
