@ app103
;D Maybe not safe for work
The Killer Biscuits is really funny except for the last sentence. IMO ditzy is ditzy no matter the hair (dye) color or gender. :)
Or maybe it's from the '50s when that concept was more widely accepted? :huh:

Depends on the person I guess. My color has always been mousey-brown... with occasional years of sun-bleached blonde. But as my forehead grows :huh: its changing to a reddish skin color.

Did I get help removing the virus? If you mean tech-support... no. I'm a computer novice, at-best, but was able to access a friends computer (novice also) and print 22 pages listing several ways to fix this issue.

mine required about 15 different steps using 7 different apps - we didnt find anything more after step #8 or so, and most of the steps at the end were precautions to help avoid recurrence (e.g. disabling java).-tomos (January 20, 2013, 01:44 PM)

Would you care to enlighten us/me by naming your steps or apps or days or hours? :tellme:

^ I guess it could help somebody :-\
I'll add the disclaimer that I dont have a clue what a lot of these apps do to your system, and am not responsible for any negative effects caused by any of them ;-)
As I did each step the logfiles and finds were checked by (german language) experts from www.trojaner-board.de
My last find was with ESET Online Scanner.
Avira Anti-virus, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, and OTL.exe all found multiple files
Initially the computer could not be started - I used windows recovery disk and did a system restore.
The infected account was a user account (luckily) and could not be used - so I worked from the Admin account.
Update all apps before scanning:
------------------
Full scan with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (http://www.malwarebytes.org/)
(select free-mode if you're just installing for this scan)
Click on 'Show results' when finished, save.
------------------
Scan with your local anti-virus
------------------
Full scan with OTL.exe from Oldtimer
tutorial (+ dl link bottom of post one) OTL Tutorial - How to use OldTimer ListIt
Run as admin with these settings:
* All users
* Output: Minimal
* Standard registry: SafelistOutput: 2 logfiles
------------------
^ you will need help with OTL, because depending on files found, a script has to be prepared to 'cleanse' them (again via OTL.exe).
------------------
Scan with Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit (http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/other_tools/)
Output: 1 logfile
------------------
Run AdwCleaner softpedia link / home: http://general-changelog-team.fr/fr/outils
When finished click [Delete]
Output: 1 logfile
------------------
'Detail scan' with Emsisoft Anti-Malware (http://www.emsisoft.com/en/)
Save results
------------------
Windows Repair Tool (AIO) (http://www.tweaking.com/content/page/windows_repair_all_in_one.html)
Run Repair_Windows.exe
Click on 'Start repairs' Tab then: Start
choose these settings
* Register System Files
* Repair WMI
* Repair Windows Firewall
* Repair Winsock & DNS Cache
* Repair Proxy Settings
* Set Windows Services To Default Startupand restart
------------------
ESET Online Scanner (http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner)
(Works in IE. Otherwise download an app. Run browser as admin)
Disable local antivirus and firewall
Tick: Remove found threads und Scan archives.
Output: 1 logfile
------------------
Either update Java RT and disable it in all browser
or
uninstall Java RT
------------------
In IE internet settings -
Security Tab
Tick: Enable protected mode
Click: Reset all zones to default level
------------------
Delete all system restore points (disable & re-enable System Restore)
------------------
CCleaner (I did this for each user account - it's possible there's an easier way)
delete all temporary internet files
Fix the registry (as said above - I never do this otherwise)

I also updated Adobe Reader and disabled it's browser plugins
