Thanks for posting this antihelminthic procedure. Well-written too.

If you have Windows 7 or God forbid Vista, doing a system restore to an earlier date also seems to work.
I’ve ran across a few of these lately. What fun!

It is our duty to depopulate Java with extreme prejudice.
OK, what is the recommended alternative to creating java aps?

That is if the bug hasn't infected the other backups, virii
love to stick around and infect other restore points.
I have Windows Restore set to off and use "ERUNT"
"WinRescue" instead:

I was wondering when someone was going to turn the spyware root-kits into a virus. One or two you can fix, 200 at a time will be a problem and if it can cross subnets, look out.

So, what’s the skinny? Should we not be running Java?

I uninstalled it after the last infection it gave my PC.
It's rarely needed in my case. YMMV.

These people need to be put up against a wall and shot. And then the video put on YouTube for all the world to see.
