Question Possible Virus/Script Help Needed

Another one for the knowledgable Scoobynet bunch

AVG Free Edition picked up a virus (Expliot.JPEG) last week only I've just noticed now. Anyway have deleted the file and thought that was that but now my old Norton Anti-Virus 2003 (which I stopped subscribing to & using but haven't yet/can't delete) has detected a:

Malicious script
Object - Windows Script Host Shell Object
Activity - RegWrite
File - waol.exe
Action - Stop this script (recommended)
Now this is the main AOL (yes I know!) file and it's recommending me not to run it!?

I'm currently using a DUN connection & IE (bypassing AOL) incase this is anything serious but need to be able to use AOL.

Already had some bother with the new AOL upgrade of modem drivers that fooked everything up on Monday & Tuesday and it's pissing me off

Plus been booking holiday, paying for things & entering passwords etc since... so hoping it's nowt malicious or serious!

Anyone shed any light please?

Cheers,
CB
