Why you all reinstall systems for stupid virus?
Because I use the machine to store sensitive information, and don't have time to keep trying to track and destroy the virus. It will be less work and time to reinstall the few programs I had (and all my docs are backed up, so I won't lose anything).

Why did you then post the topic here? If virus wanted to stole your information, you can be sure that it is already stolen :)

Reinstall will just delete the virus...what can be done in 5 minutes...

I wanted to try to get rid of it without doing a complete re-install first. You were very helpful, but nothing has detected the virus, and yet it's still active. Thanks again for your efforts. :)

Ok, but next time, if it happens, you should disconnect your PC from internet, and ask for help here, so we can help you to remove the virus...
