I have just picked up this malware on my laptop. Unfortunately Spybot did not detect it. It is very disruptive & has rendered my laptop unuseable.

Can't Spybot remove this malware?

Thanks in anticipation

I had this virus on my Toshiba laptop and all the other suggestions didn't provide any help. I ended up just doing a system restore to a week before the virus infected my computer. With Windows: go to Start, control panel, system maintenance, and followed the step by step procedures for system restore.

Hi there,

It might be best to follow Zenobia's advice. :)

Please do NOT turn off System Restore trying to remove an infection. Doing so would only serve to destroy a known restore point (dirty or not) and won't remove the malware. Let your helper advise you as to when a System Restore flush is called for.Once a computer is infected there may be multiple nasties hiding. :eek:
