arrange your icons by type and show them in group, so that you will not double click or open any virus having icon of folder

Its brontok

41 Kb each chain reaction

Go to safe mode & remove using Spybot & Avast
(or any other Nt spware & Nt virus)

Just press F8 to when computer starts to go into safe mode)

Ahh.. I remeber solving same problem a couple of months ago but couldn't find that thread now..
OK here is it again:-

1.) Download Latest Antivirus (Kaspersky-recommended)
2.)Install IT (It wont be a problem...)
3.) Turn Off System Restore Service by Going to System Properties/System Restore TAB.
4.) In Safe Mode.. Scan Your PC. Delete every infected file..(It can mess your system badly... so be prepared.)
5.) Boot in normal mode and scan again.
7.) I think problem will be solved, so come here and post that problem is solved.
