| 1211389 | 2011-06-23 09:05:00 | Malware bytes normally gets the infection out, thats not the problem, its the damage it does that really screws things up. From the XP ones I have done, it drops a couple of random named exe and other files files in the C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Local Settings\Temp folder. |

| 1211390 | 2011-06-23 10:22:00 | Combofix now restores your start menu shortcuts after removing the infection. First time I encountered it, I unhid the user folder but didn't notice the missing start menu shortcuts until after I had run ccleaner. | Greven (91) | ||
| 1211391 | 2011-06-23 11:00:00 | That must have been since last Saturday (combofix) - that was when I did the last one, and while combo fix removed several infections the start menu was still toast. The PC in question had 4 users accounts, each users start menu was in a different state of "disaster", ranging from completely blank to half there but not working :) |

| 1211393 | 2011-06-23 21:53:00 | Did for me. XP. How many user accounts ?? The one I tried it on had four user accounts, and it didn't change any of them. Thats why I tried the repair install, LOTS of data between four accounts :waughh: |

| 1211394 | 2011-06-25 00:49:00 | Sounds like a bastard. Luckily I have not encountered this one (yet) | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 1211395 | 2011-06-25 05:21:00 | Any ideas on how this one is getting picked up? Is it email attachments, image file payload, web-link or what? It would be nice to know what to watch out for, especially since i picked up a similar nasty a while back and still have no idea how it got in. I am usually super cautious, but clearly that is not going to help if the infection is by other than the commonly known and avoidable sources. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 1211396 | 2011-06-25 05:36:00 | Most of the time, these infections are installed by whats known as a Drive By Download (en.wikipedia.org) number 2 & 3 in that link explain it better. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1211397 | 2011-06-25 05:51:00 | It may also happen if you dont keep windows up to date | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
