The biggest problem with this virus is that while I am running a scan, I get a security warning message. Cancelling the message does no good!! The scan program then locks up and doesn\'t do anything further!! It doesn\'t seem to matter which anti virus program I use the same thing conitnues to happen. I tried Symantec, Micro Trend and Superantispyware. Nothing new will completely install or scan. The scan program does not complete the scan to remove the virus. Microsoft doesn\'t seem to have any suggestions or help on their site.
