Latest Virus: Security Tool
Advertisements [?]
It appears these cheese weasels locate on Italian and Italian restaurant websites, since that seems to be when it happened. Although I understand it can squat for 90 days then release. It hijacks your desktop and task manager. It's ransomware. It's on one of my work PCs that runs Windows 2000.

Smitfruad doesn't get it.
I tried deleting it from the My Documents authorized user window. The files deleted ok but must be hiding somewhere else as well.

Malwarebites finds it and deletes it but it returns.

any fixes for this thing yet, gurus?
