Files:

The file at "<$COMMONAPPDATA>\.wtav".
The file at "<$SYSDIR>\exefile.exe".
The file at "<$WINDIR>\Temp\{E9C1E0AC-C9B1-4c85-94DE-9C1518918D01}.tlb".
The file at "<$WINDIR>\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.Windows.Shell.HWEventDetector_6595b64144ccf1df_5.2.2.3_x-ww_5390e909\shsvcs.dll".
Make sure you set your file manager to display hidden and system files. If Fraud.InternetSecurity2011 uses rootkit technologies, use our RootAlyzer (http://forums.spybot.info/downloads.php?id=8) or our Total Commander anti-rootkit plugins (http://forums.spybot.info/downloads.php?id=3).
You will have to use a global search for files without a name specified. Be extra careful, because just the name might not be enough to identify files!
Important: There are more files that cannot be safely described in simple words. Please use Spybot-S&D (http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=spybotsd) to remove them.
