Thanks for your wonderful post! I like reading it as well as reading and learning house selling tips. I have learned that to be able to sell your home in a higher price you should have a high value house. Like Whitby houses and Port Perry homes. They have higher house values than any of the houses for sale on the area.

Saw this at work on one of our employee's PCs. Luckily most of our users are limited only, but this fake anti-virus malware is actually pretty smart:

-Random folder creation under the user's profile folder a couple of levels deep and random file name executables there
-HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run, a couple of executables listed there
-Inability logged in as user via Remote Assistance to run Task Manager or anything else useful (no command prompt either), simply multitudes of fake Windows warnings about virii infecting everything you're trying to run and asking you to run "scans"
-Simple solution of logging in as my admin account and flushing everything
-We run McAfee security software which didn't notice anything amiss even as craploads of popups masquerading as Windows popups polluted the user's Windows sessions.

I'll have to check the ticket I opened with McAfee and see where they are with updating their spyware definitions.

Hey Dan, get any more news on this one?

My customers husband seems to have clicked all over this thing and "installed" it...Its popping up every time they open IE now.
AVG sees it as a infected TEMP file but after scan and reboot it's still there.
They also mentioned seeing a "fake" google page..

I just had a call from one of my computer customers, saying they had a "virus" I logged in remotely and saw it is the exact same one that hit your site.
But she had been at Amazon, a dialog had popped up warning of viruses and to "click ok" to remove them.

luckily she called me straight away and i killed it off and am now running a super-antispyware scan, but it looks clean still.

btw i have found super-antispyware finds and removes problems that spybot and adaware dont. took me a while to come around to super-anti as the name makes it sound like it IS spyware.

Also I use Kaspersky on my own pc's and AVG on my customers, call it job security. :D

This is my other most valuable tip for fixing broken TCP/IP stacks after cleaning particularly nasty items, I've probably stolen this text verbatim from some other site, apologies to whoever it was as I don't remember anymore:

A Windows XP machine can sometimes have its WINSOCK catalog become corrupted and it appears like a network connection is disabled. Well, this is not always the case. If you perform a

PING -a -n 1 127.0.0.1

Ping the loopback connection at the COMMAND prompt you will see this as the hostname reply:

pinging °ÿ with 32 bytes of data

That °ÿ is the telltale sign that the WINSOCK catalog is corrupted. Simply enter this command at a command prompt:

netsh winsock reset catalog

and reboot the machine. The problem will be cleared up.

Though spybot is pretty good, it doesn't always pick up everything. You should try using the 'run on boot' (or whatever it's called) option. Also give adaware a try, which will also pick up a different subset of malware. AVG is also supposed to be good and has a free edition. There was once another tool I used on my parents PC after it picked up some nasty malware. It was pay software, but there was a trial edition I used to remove the nasties. I can't remember the name, but I remember it was the only software that seemed capable of finding the actual problem (I realize how unhelpful that is :\ ) Sometimes though it (unfortunately) just seems to be easier to do a re-install then get rid of some of this crap...
