Spreading the knowledge:
Not all user accounts were affected.
I logged in as a different ADMIN user to locate and isolate the problem.
The following files were loaded to my machine from a website my son visited. Not sure what website. He followed random links.
1.) vNyLDMWWexyoYz.exe
2.) fIJsmsUwPvQ.exe
The 1st file was entered into my windows 7 registry "RUN" to restart with each reboot.
I first removed the EXE file associated with the RansomeWare from the registry.
Then located the EXE files on my hard drive and renamed then.
McAfee and Spybot S&D could not find this malware.
It also disabled all properties options in my Windows START menu button. SO I went into properties for this and reabled them.
After a reboot, my desktop came back and the Windows START mostly worked, Computer, and documents, music, pictures, control panel, computer all came back. But I am still missing the START->Programs-> ->
Under the smtmp location, there will be a 1, 2, and 4. Each of these folders will house your desktop/start menu/ and quick launch shortcuts... Hope this helps guys.
This might take up to half n hour, after it completes it will show a summary of everything that was removed/repaired.
The recommended SpywareDoctor application appears to locate spyware, BUT when one clicks on the button to remove one is told that one MUST PAY MONEY for the removal. This fact should absolutely be mentioned on this page.
If the system fix virus is stopping you from doing anything, get Rkill.exe to stop it( I had to go into safe mode, system fix wouldnt let me do anything, ran Rkill and then unhide.exe, rebooted machine, icons on desktop came back, start button left side items appeared and could right click start button to explore to get to my flash drive I had all the programs on). Once you get program to stop, run Kaspersky TDSs killer, it finds another program that is usually bundled with system fix. Then run Malware bytes to find the virus and get rid of it, also ran super anti spyware and found a couple more trojans this brought back my start button selections, they were still missing.
