Although it would help to provide more information about this threat such as how can people get it, what names does it go by and such stuff like that, of course it would be better to provide a better crediable removal website then the one you provided since all we know is your site could be booby trapped with it.
So to help those understand this threat more check out the following sites:
Site #1Site #2Alternate Removal SiteSaint Michael,
I appreciate your comments and understand why you say this. However, the whole point is this:-
We were infected with this little problem some three weeks ago and, obviously, searched for all credible sites and answers to the problem. All we got was re-infection...... What happens is this. Some twit downloads something they shouldn't, then, the first section of the installer is the one writeing to the windows folders and registry as part of the program installation - following so far - As their is no virus at this point in time, their is no protection. Next, system reboots during which the cloned windows files are written just before power down and registry entries made - at this point in time ALL windows applications INCLUDING windows itself have already quit - so, when restarted, the registry and cloned files now exist in place of the originals and by the time windows has started - particularly if you have xDSL or similar, you have already downloaded and installed at least half a dozen trojens.... these also run un-discovered as they first one is registered as part of your anti-virus and firewall apps.
Aside from that, you don't get viruses from PDF files (not yet at least). We have reported the issue to numerous AV majors as well as Adobe with no response. It took 7 days and 5 nights to get this all tracked, traced and debugged.
The reason I cannot give a list of known files is simply we do not the full origins as yet, only the reader version of which i can tell you version 6 was released last week - am just analysing the files as I write this...
I have attached the PDF to this post as at weekends the African xDSL actualy provides more than 400bytes per second...
Warmest regards
George
