Has anyone heard of the trojan horse startpage.df virus???? On 3/6 my
anti-virus program flagged me that I had this virus so I ran the program to
remove it. The next day I got flagged again that I had the same virus but it infected a different file. The first time it was msinfo.exe and the second time
it was system volume information\restore. I removed it for the second time.
My anti-virus program scans my e-mails before I open them and I don't open
any programs I download without scanning them first. How do you get this
virus and what damage could it do???? Is this a SPYWARE related virus????
I couldn't really find anything which I searched the internet on this.
Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Sounds like a spyware hijack.
