    Well, I don't have any personal experience with that particular virus, but this is the initial process I generally recommend:

    - Disable "System Restore"
    - Make sure that "MalWareBytes" is fully updated
    - Completely disconnect your computer from any internet connection and/or network.
    - Start up your computer in Safe Mode
    - Run Malwarebytes (full scan)
    - Delete all found items and restart into a normal boot
    - Run Malwarebytes again (full scan)
    - Essentially, run Malwarebytes until it comes up clean
    - For the sake of redundancy, you could also run a MSE scan in both safe mode and full boot

    Additionally, I'd recommend providing someone knowledgeable with a HijackThis log so that you have some sort of verification that your system has been cleaned. Good luck!

    I agree. Scanning with MBAM, in Safe Mode, is a good suggestion, and what i always do in case i think i maybe infected.

    You could also try Scanning with Hitman Pro.

    Good luck!
