(check out post #4 of the above...they're telling people to use BFU, same as is used for the LW always popping up worm)

I know nothing about cleaning up this sort of thing...I don't see how running BFU could hurt but I don't know if it's going to fix the whole thing either. KillBox is mentioned a couple of times also, but I've never heard of that one. We could get people to run BFU & if that doesn't fix the prob, then send them on to one of the help sites?
Or one of the gurus might have some more info & suggestions? Atm, people are just refusing to believe they're infected at all...if their AV doesn't pick anything up then they're convinced things are ok.

What do you guys think?
