Has anybody else had issues with it recently? It infected my XP partition 4 days ago and it seems its about since 4 people that i know of have all got it in the last week or so.

Just a warning, keep your firewalls and anit-virus's on. This virus is a right PITA.

Spent the last couple of days trying to get it off the family computer, should probably put a firewall and antivirus on lappy = ]

Yep my brother had this on his laptop too (vista OP), i had a search around and found a guide to removing it, if anyone is in the same situation i used this site and haven't had any problems since.

Ive had it aswell

Did a system restore, loads of virus scans and it still didn't go. Then tried the programme recommended by George in the above post and it seems to have worked fingers crossed.

Anyone know where we have got the virus from?

Download hitmanpro 3.5 its takes like less then 10mins to scan and uses 5 different anti-virus programs to scan (uses cloud computing) its only a 30 day trial but a kick-ass piece of kit and will work like a non-trial version intill the 30 days is up... another extreme last stand solution which you can try before formatting is a program called combofix Try them 2 things out if non work then a format is best option. (Last time i got a virus it would not go even after 2 scans with like 5 pieces of software lol so i had to use combofix but that messed up a file in my registry leaving me without any sound LUCKILY i had a system restore point which was saved from a week before i got the virus
