<VV> [FC] Warning: vry dangerous invasive files NO CORVAIR

[steven at sashimi.org]

It is a chore. Myt son got this bugger on his PC.  Took me three tries to
remove it over two evenings.  Basically I had to get into the registry
editor and delete the hijacked settings.  Wasn't hard to find information
on how to do it on the web, but it's not for the feint of heart.

very nasty viruses going around that challenge even the big boys of  
computing.
they pose as virus scans that say if you pay them they will clean your  
machine...(kidnap it!).
it is a very hard chore to find ALL pieces of this stuff in your registry.  
if you reboot it takes out   explorer .exe , a main file of windows. 
this software will not go away with regular cleaning software , so watch  
it.
this was on several tech sites recently , plus hospitals and the university 
 here got bit by it, along with many other places.
