I got this virus too it locked up my system not allowing me to access my programs but clever me I went through the trash bin to access my system, and then I had to go online and find out how to get my desk top,start menu and control panles working again, it all started with a java update that installed itself without asking permission it called it self quick update, after 2 days of tinkering with different virus and script cleaners i was finally able to remove most of the problem, however my clock on my toll bar still says VIRUS ALERT! and I have not been able to get my programs to display in my star menu yet.

When i had this sort of problem, i hacked into my computer from my dad's system and pulled off copies of the files i wanted to keep then i wiped it and re-installed everything. Infact! at that time i only had the admin accoutn on my computer. So when i did that it was literally on my dad's other computer. But now that i dealth with that, i made a second account, a back up account that actually doesnt get infected unless you access the shared folders. So by that i command promted the file ziping of the pieces i wanted ot keep and them emailed ot myself and did the wipe. I had it happen three times. It was the third time when i found out that interent still works on the second account. So i popped up on there and then uploaded programs that held of the virus until i could find away to clear everything up. So yeah. just got ot know your system and how it works with other accounts and computers.
