Nasty stuff! The first part with the renamed files sounds like another virus ive heard of. It would rename all image files, mp3s etc and move everything to the C drive. Luckily, that virusmaker had at least some conscience, and the virus also left a textfile, descibing what changes it had made. Ive always used IE and never had any problems with it. One single virus during all these years. The best protections will always be a good, fresh antivirus, a firewall and most of all, cautiousness.
