I used malwarebytes. It's free and worked like a charm. I am a network admin so I get to fix this stuff all the time. I use a mac so as of now I don't have to put up with this stuff. Plus it is just way cooler :-)
Thanks Ebomb!!!!
Instructions were clear and concise, fixed my problem with the darn worm. Any idea if it diasbles your firewall and system restore aswell?
Thanks

i had also had that warning of spyware come up on my desktop. however I foolishly thought the problem would go away if I simply used one of my own images as a background.
so now I have my own background image but am still missing the screensaver/background image tab.
i tried the bmp method....but I dont get wat im supposed to be looking for as my background image is my own pic which I chose. is that the image im supposed to be looking for as a bmp format??? please help!! :(

I had all of the above symptoms. I found and deleted the files, edited the registry, but PC still would not boot. As a last ditch attempt I downloaded this antivirus program Malwarebytes to a flashdrive from another PC and installed and ran in protected mode. There were 12 infections (none bad). Then rebooted and ran a full scan which took about 70 minutes. The program found another 25 infections.
Here is the link again that was provided earlier:
https://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes/3000-8022_4-10804572.html
PC is now working great. I set a new restore point and am happy with all of the assistance, time and effort everyone has put into solving this stupid needless problem!
Thanks!

Finally this worked.
Go To
c:\windows\system32\
Sort all files using date modified.
You will notice below files that created on the day when the virus is came. Just delete and reboot
avgrsstx.dll
blphcarvjoel39.scr
fntcache.dat
lphcarvj0el39.exe
karina.dat

Hey everyone.
I have the same problem on my computer. I've followed ebombs steps yet I still cannot get rid of it.
My virus .EXE on my processes tab is called lphc5mfj0er59 so I searched in My Computer for r59.bmp. From searching for this one bmp file was located, and it was my background image. I deleted it and then from my Recycle Bin, and then proceeded on to make the registry changes as specified by Ebomb. I then restarted my computer and it has had no effect! I have tried these steps in safe mode and in normal mode.
As well as phc5mfj0er59.exe loading on processes tab there are some other dodgey looking processes too, such as -
ezi_hnm2.exe
ZCfgSvc.exe
McVSEscn.exe
AOLDial.exe
AOLacsd.exe
AOLSP Scheduler.exe
I can access the Internet through Ethernet cable however the virus has damaged my wireless as it says its unable to detect a supported wireless adapter. please install a supported adapter.
Any advice or help would be very much appreciated! Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

I hope that someone can help. I have the same problem that everyone here is discussing and have printed the instructions for the removal, however... I am not able to access anything on the computer or stay logged in long enough to do any of those actions. When I boot the computer, the Windows logo comes on, the log in screen appears and I log in as usual, then it goes to a solid blue screen... nothing on it at all, no start key or shortuts. After about 3 seconds of blue screen, it automatically logs out and goes back to the log in screen. This is the same if I start the computer in Safe Mode... blank blue screen and then logged out promptly! What can I do?!!?!? I am concerned about the new pictures on my hard-drive of my newborn that I haven't backed up yet (only 1 month old) and don't want to lose my data if at all possible!!! Appreciate any help that's offered!
Thanks in advance!
Thanks in advance!
Hi guys,
I got the same virus/spyware but I think I got rid of it.
I went on avg.com and got their software (free for a period of 30 days), I took the smaller version of the two. I had to install it and run it several times. The computer kept crashing, etc... I even had to boot in Safe Mode and run AVG from safe mode one last time. It kept finding all kinds of trojan viruses and spyware every scan. After redoing the scan a few times, it became easier and easier. Now my scans are clean all the time and I no longer have the problem. The blue screen and warnings about spyware are still there buty these are just the background and a screen saver. The only thing I don't have yet is the ability to change the background and the screen saver (the virus got rid of these tabs but I'm sure I'm one setting away from being done with the whole nightmare). I'm buying AVG (they have another free version which is an undefinite trial but they say this product is inferior so I'm going for the real thing).

I've downloaded AVG and it found loads of trojans which I have got rid of. I tried AVG before trying ebombs advice and following his instructions.
Update: I have got rid of the spyware it seems as my desktop is no longer that damn antivirus message, it is now just a blue background. It seems I have now got rid of the virus as it no longer auto loads on the processes tab which is great and the blue screen no longer appears either. However, I still cannot change my desktop wallpaper as the tab is still not there, nor can I still connect to my wireless.
Any ideas?
