I've just spent an interesting couple of hours getting shot of this from a friends PC. It had crippled the desktop and Avast (first failure I've ever had after loading Avast free for a couple of dozen people). A 'safe mode' scan with MBAM found nothing!!! I then tried RKILL which gave me back control. Another scan with MBAM didn't find anything either
. I also ran CCleaner. However on a complete restart it's now gone and I cant find any lingering trace?
I thought RKILL just gave back control while the infection was dealt with, so I'm at a loss as to where the files and reg entries are. Any idea anyone?
@BOAC
So would I! The lady in question had OE open at the time (minimised) and was uploading to ebay at the time when everything closed down and the desktop appeared with all that scaremongering crap on it!
