Hey makku I think i have had this virus attack some months before... but i managed to escape... I don clearly remember wot i did...
I got some registry location where the prob is.. but the registry was blocked by virus... I formatted the windows drive... as soon as the comp loaded i switched it off... on reboot i loaded in safemode... installed the Zone alarm.. then i restarted the comp... just after a few minutes past the loading of windows, zone alarm gave a pop up requesting to edit registry.. it woz this virus.. I denied it.. I entered the regisry and did the patch.... Later in the registry I enabled the show super hidden... in the my computer i din't open drives by double clicking... doing so may call the autorun.. instead i choose explore from the right click... i saw a super hidden autorun exe file.. deleted all those..
Now ma comp is okay...
And hey, doing virus scan will never give a solution..

Currently there is no antivrus that can remove the threat.
