HELP:
You can do nothing with this virus on your machine.
Any more help out there?
Tried numerous site and all of them were blocked by this virus.
Its very clever in aborting attempts to restore, but what worked was to have task manager open, click system restore, and then immediately go end process on the niw.exe that opened. Very clever one, this.
That seemed to solve the problem, but to be double-safe, I booted in safe mode with networking, and ran a full scan with my McAfee Internet Security software.
Hit ctrl + alt + del
open task manager (vista security thing blocks opening task manager via right-clicking on dock)
go to processes running, and sort them by memory usage. Then I looked near the top (most memory usage) and located the program that sounded fishy. Then right-clicked and opened the file location of the program,I ended the process and looked to see if vista internet security was still operational. On my first try I got it. After that, I simply deleted the ~300 kb .exe file and boom!
It was called ooh.exe or something. Just give it a shot!
If it turns out to work, easy fix!
