I've cleaned up several infected machines with the same virus. What I did, was the same action, posted in the beginning of the topic! 1. First I downloaded Malwarebytes FREE edition and installed on that machine 2. Boot to Safe Mode without networking 3. Smart/Quick Scan with Malwarebytes 4. When the scan was completed, delete all of the objects and reboot in the normal mode It solved the problem! Most of the computers got infected with that virus, had Norton with "real time protection" ON, or AVG! On My personal computers I am using "KASPERSKY IS" for about 5 years and I never got infected with such a virus, or had to reinstall the system because of a virus! Hi,

On My personal computers I am using “KASPERSKY IS” for about 5 years and I never got infected with such a virus, or had to reinstall the system because of a virus!

Earlier I stated that I have only had to completely reformat only 10 systems in 7 years. Well, make that 11 now. I got a nasty virus on client's computer and I just would not die. It was a LONG fight. At the very end, I'm pretty sure it was off... but, by then my confidence was shaken so badly that I needed to reformat just to be sure. Quick update on this post…
