Hi Muddy

im working as a senior technical support engineer in a company ,, and i got this virus in more than 120 PCS and after struggling for 5 days i found the best solution :

avast antivirus with the latest updates

spypot S&D

alfa killer ( or use any program for killing the autorun files that makes your partitions show the strange text in the right click)


i cleaned the virus completely from my network by using the above 3 programs


i hope this will help you

thanks

Hi Beethoven,

Thanks for your advice. It worked nice.

I had exactly the same problem. I tried 5 anti-virus and anti-spyware applications, cleaned some viruses and spywares, but they kept coming back after every PC restart.

I applied your solution step-by-step; Avast anti-virus, then Spybot S&D, then Alfa Killer. They worked like magic. And finally, I can see the system time showing 2008 instead of 2004 :-)

Thanks again.

Try a linux live cd with f-prot. Windoz blows but I guess it has it's purpose.
